[UPDATED JULY 12, 2013]
This is very similar to the Beat the Streak Strategy #4: At least one hit per game percentage, but it’s a little simplier. It’s just how many games a player got at least one hit. I call this stat GH (Games with a Hit). The plan is simply to go down the list and play one guy each day.
The top 30 players with most games with at least one hit in 2013:
