Pitchers batting 8th
?Ben takes a look at historical and current trends of the pitchers batting in the 8th spot.
The Book showed that the best spot for the pitcher is batting 8th and worst is (unsurprisingly) as cleanup hitter. The gap was about 16 runs per season. Basically, it means that each slot between optimal (8th) and ridiculous (4th) is worth about 4 runs. And that's with the hitter who is BY FAR the most different from everyone else. That's what we are really up against.
