337 major leaguers have logged at least 170 PA so far this season. Only four have a higher BABIP than that of Matt McLain (.398) - Will Benson (.402) is one of them.

Joey Votto, with 171 PA this season, is among those 337. Only eight players have a lower BABIP than him so far (.209). Speaking of Joey and that group of 337 players, only Santiago Espinal of Toronto and Philly’s Brandon Marsh have a lower soft-contact rate than Joey’s (7.1%, per FanGraphs). That soft contact rate is, to date, the lowest of Votto’s Hall of Fame career.
