As the first batter of the game in 2005 he hit .333 with a .419 OBP. While he may not have been the best in high leverage situations, I loved watching him lead off games. He gets on, Iguchi moved him over, and he'd score on a sac fly or something. I wonder how many times we took a 1-0 lead in the first inning?

 

 

That is exactly the scenario I remember from the 2005 season. Wasn't that team winning in every game at a high percentage that season?

The problem was he pulled a hamstring in late July, missed like 3 weeks, and when he came back suddenly he was a much easier out on the basepaths because the injury cost him some speed.

From July 23rd until the end of the season, Podsednik was 9 for 23 in steals, good for a 39.1% stolen base percentage.

 

It's cherry picking, but it's still bad.

Right before that he'd stolen like 22 in a row. He had the technique down and was tearing it up out there but that injury torched him.
