Welcome to another week's edition of the wonkiest adult kickball blog, where we take a look at the league leaders in multiple statistical categories. We're 3 weeks into the season, so the sample size is starting to grow. The results are very interesting... Let's go inside the numbers!
(If this is your first time checking out Inside the Numbers, please be sure to read our week 1 post with a mission statement and full definitions for each stat category.)

Week 1 - 41 players had 1.000 kicking averages.

Cinnamon Toast Crunk's Andrew Schlichte and Sheri Lewis' decision to put Dom Smith at lead off was a little bit of a head scratcher before the season. Smith has one of the biggest legs in the league and historically has kicked in the middle of the order. What's Dom going to do up top? Nothing much, other than lead the league in hits, average, and runs. Can he keep it up?
Home Runs
They say that 'chicks dig the long ball', well this week, a chick kicked a long ball!* The Magic's Lenora Harper went yard for her first career home run.
*by 'long ball', I mean a nice bunt followed by a couple of over throws. But still.
A couple of other newcomers to the dinger club came in clutch fashion. Turn Down For Bunts' Geoff Morehart and LSD's Rick Henry each had late inning homers that propelled their teams to victory on Wednesday.

On Base Plus Slugging % is a metric that not only measures a players consistency at the plate, but also their power. The top players not only get on base often, but when they do, they're going for extra bases.
No surprises here, at least not with the top spot. Gene Efird was the #1 overall pick for a reason, and so far he's living up to the honor by getting on base 83% of the time he's up and kicking a double and 2 triples.
