Our offense are going through an extremely low BABIP right now. As that trends back towards the normal, we could easily be a better than .500 team.
Seems like nobody wants to hit good old fashioned line drives anymore. Rose was the consummate line drive hitter seldom swinging for the fences. He did it occasionally, but not often. I wouldn't mind a Willie Keeler type hitter all of about 5' 4" and 100 pounds. 8591 AB, 2932 hits and could bunt anytime against any pitcher.. He only walked 524 times and struck out just 136 times in 19 years in the bigs..
The rule change of a foul ball on the 3rd strike being out was because of Keeler who could bunt just about any pitch endlessly.

"Learn what pitch you can hit real good and wait for that pitch."
