Higgie heading for the Mendoza line He is well below the Mendoza line and has been there all season. I always thought it was lower than .200 |

HIs slugging % might be below the Mendoza line. Its close. .218.  Mario Medoza's lifetime batting average was actually .215, though in his only season with over 300 at bat as a starting shortstop, he hit .198, from which the Mendoza Line was born. Medoza was a light-hitting shortstop with a career slugging percentage of .262. |

Medoza was a light-hitting shortstop with a career slugging percentage of .262. We have the Womack line of .556 OPS from his fabled 2005 season.
Right now Higgy and Trevino are below the Womack line.

Mendoza only played 4 years and was never a success. Womack was successful at times, if not on the Yankees

Medoza was a light-hitting shortstop with a career slugging percentage of .262. I think people say it just because it is easy to say. Hardly only the only batter not to hit well. Hoards of baseball players hit much worse, but that's not the point. The "line" refers to the minimum level of competence for a major leaguer, and Mario Mendoza failed to hit .200 five times, hovering just below it, though his lifetime average was .215; hence, the Mendoza Line was coined. |
