Athletics third baseman Josh Donaldson has been walking at a high rate to begin the year.
Donaldson has upped his walk rate from 6.5 percent in 11.5 percent this season. He's also been able to cut down on his strikeouts, from 19.7 percent to 11.5 percent. Donaldson's .346 BABIP suggests his average will fall, but he could still produce a decent average once that evens out.
Most of Donaldson's slugging percentage can be attributed to his doubles-power. Given that he plays in Oakland, it's tough to know whether he'll be able to turn those doubles into home runs this year.
