Leaderboards of Labor [Day]

I am posting this not on Labor Day. It is because, in solidarity with the continuing American labor movement, I did not labor on American Labor Day. Instead, I was alternately sipping Crystal Light beside a plastic wading pool and lobbing some pitches to my niece, nephew, and fiancée.

In honor of said, below are some leaderboards that measure how much Major League Baseball players have labored so far this season.

QUALIFIED PITCHERS

QUALIFIED HITTERS

Note: the “TB&” stat is Total Bases plus BB, HBP, and SB attempts — basically letting you know how much, more or less, a player has run around (or sauntered) of his own accord. It doesn’t include other base running, and when you start to look at TB&/PA, it’s pretty worthless (because SBA is added in), but that’s why this is on NotGraphs and not on FanGraphs — well, that and a number of other really good reasons.
