Jose Caballero leads the league in Stolen Bases and Caught Stealing. He replaced injured shortstop Anthony Volpe at shortstop. When Volpe is ready to play, Caballero may be benched.
Here are the batting order positions in 2026 for Caballero:
| Split | G | GS | PA | AB |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Batting 7th | 3 | 3 | 12 | 12 |
| Batting 8th | 17 | 17 | 64 | 60 |
| Batting 9th | 10 | 10 | 36 | 33 |
Bottom of the order.
Eliminate the bottom of the order: 3 Designated Fielders. All batters also field but 3 fielders do not bat. Saturday, April 18, 2026
Batting order positions in 2026 for Aaron Judge:
| Split | G | GS | PA | AB |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Batting 2nd | 24 | 24 | 106 | 86 |
| Batting 3rd | 7 | 7 | 29 | 25 |
Top of the order.
Percent difference in PA Caballero v. Judge:
(135-112)/135=17%
(135-112)/112=20%
Whichever number is used as the base, the percentages are in the same ballpark.
Caballero had fewer than 4 PA in 10 games and 5 PA in three games.
Judge had 5 PA in eleven games and 4 PA in the rest.
If both play a complete game, Judge can have only one more PA than Caballero. Or they may have the same.
What the heck kind of common sense does that make? I'll refrain from comparisons with football and basketball.
BB: Judge 21 , Caballero 4.
At Bats: Caballero 105, Judge 111, only 6 more.
Double what the heck?!
Fixing the walk rule would be a big help too.
