IU Scott Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 Maybe I should go out to dinner and not watch the Reds. Been following it and just got home to see us up 8-2. Happy to see Bell change the lineup and moved EDLC from the leadoff slot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cubs have played 117 games, so he would need to be at 363 plate appearances to qualify.

After today's game, Bellinger has 326 at bats, 27 walks, 3 sacrifice flies, and 3 hit-by-pitch. That's 363 plate appearances. So, he will be qualified when official stats are updated after tonight's games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted August 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 MLB.Com already has the stats updated. Bellinger is officially 4th in the NL in hitting, behind Arraez, Freeman, and Acuna. Interestingly enough, after Bellinger's .331 average, there is not another qualified hitter in the NL hitting .300. Byson Stott is 5th at .299. There are 5 AL hitters at .300 or above. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
