Through his first 10 games of the season, Kyle Manzardo is 2-32, a pitiful .063 batting average.
Throughout franchise history, only two others have been worse (with at least 35 plate appearances) through 10 games. Here’s the list:
- 1928 Ollie Tucker, .031
- 2020 Sandy Leon, .061
- 2025 Manzardo, .063
- 1955 Herb Score, .063
- 1916 Steve O’Neill, .063
- 1903 Earl Moore, .067
- 1905 Moore, .067
- 1921 Duster Mails, .069
Tucker was a September call-up who never played against in the big leagues. Leon was a backup catcher who had minimal preparation in that weird 2020 season. O’Neill was also a catcher. And Score, Moore and Mails are pitchers.
Yikes.
