Not a single Chicago White batter has been intentionally walked by an opposing pitcher through 58 games this season, setting an unenviable MLB record.
As a whole, the White Sox's lineup ranks dead last in MLB with 40 home runs, 166 runs, a .215 batting average and a .607 OPS. Chicago doesn't have a single qualified hitter with an OPS over .775, and it only has four with an OPS over .670.
With so few dangerous bats in the lineup, opposing teams apparently aren't afraid to pitch to the White Sox.noted that the club is currently on the longest streak without an intentional walk to start a season since IBB became an official MLB stat in 1955.No Chicago White Sox batter has been intentionally walked so far this season in 57 games and that's the longest IBB-less streak of any team to start a season since intentional walks became an official MLB stat in 1955.
The White Sox are in the midst of a nine-game losing streak. It seemed like they got their feet back under them one month into the season, following up a 3-22 start with a solid 11-8 stretch, but Chicago is just 1-13 since. First pitch between the White Sox and Brewers is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. ET at American Family Field.Sam Connon is a Staff Writer for Fastball on the Sports Illustrated/FanNation networks.
