Best hitters in the DWL so far

Although only half a week has passed since the season began, here's a list of the hitters who have started out the best in the first few games. I've ranked them according to Equivalent Average, which is an overall index of offensive performance scaled to resemble Batting Average. Before Monday's games the top 6 offensive players were:







Name (Team)AVG
OBP
SLG
EQA
Israel Alcántara (LE).333
.538
1.000
.339
Juan Camilo (EO).500
.583
.800
.319
Félix Pié (TL).429
.500
.857
.316
Mendy López (AC).467
.500
.800
.312
Abraham Núñez (EO).455
.538
.455
.306
Willis Otañez (TL).400
.438
.733
.305

Happily for me, the best hitter so far (and by a full 20 points of EQA) has been Escogido's Israel Alcántara. Juan Camilo (who was awarded the Player of the Week honor) was second. Camilo definitely put up better "traditional numbers", but Alcantara smoked him in Slugging Percentage while putting up respectable numbers in all the other stats.

I will post a more detailed look of how the season is going along in the coming weeks (allowing for more games to be played so I can have a better sample size to mess around with)
