Just came across an
interesting tweet, and wanted to look for a parallel in my league.
The longest hitting streak in the ABL belongs to Manny Rodriguez, who strung together hits in 48 consecutive games between July 13, 2102, and April 1st the following year. Certainly impressive, and I do not mean to disparage it, but was he the best batter over the course of this streak?
A quick look into the batting leaders for this timeframe suggests to me that there were other players more valuable than Rodriguez during his historical streak.
