In 128 games, the leadoff hitter has been the center fielder 120 times, the shortstop four times, the left fielder three times, and the second baseman once. The second hitter has been the second baseman 98 times, the third baseman 17 times, and the shortstop 13 times.Bruce Bochy quite literally does decide where hitters should bat in the order based on what position they play. While we know this already, it's worth noting how mind-numbingly stupid it is.
