Ryan Langerhans and statistical oddities

Here we are, nearly one month into the season, and Ryan Langerhans continues to sit on one of those rare statistical oddities I figured I'd better bring up now before it vanishes forever. Langerhans is the only player in MLB with an on-base-plus-slugging percentage (OPS) greater than .800 to also have a sub-.200 batting average. And believe me, that's not easy to do when you start getting up near 50 plate appearances (Langerhans has 49). Going into tonight, his OPS is at .807 while his average is at .189. What's driving this anomoly are the 11 walks garnered by Langerhans already. That's pushed his on-base percentage up to .375 and the OPS beyond the .800 range. The reason why it's so odd is that anyone with an OPS greater than .800 is assumed to be an above average hitter, while anyone hitting below the .200 "Mendoza Line" is considered to be a bad hitter. And then, you have Langerhans, the ultimate tweener. This post isn't meant to define history...
