Lucas: Diamond Heels Notebook
Posted Apr 30, 2009
One of this season's great statistical mysteries is how Dustin Ackley and Kyle Seager can hit next to each other in the Tar Heel batting order, but Seager has almost 50% more at-bats with runners in scoring position than Ackley.

Teams are being especially careful pitching to him with runners on base.
