The...the Mariners were bad in high leverage plate appearances this year at least in part because they had a few guys who could hit (who would get on base) and then the rest couldn't hit at all (thus resulting in poor performance after there were guys on base).
The reducto ad absurdem on that would be to imagine team with 9 players:
.000
.000
1.000
.000
.000
.000
.000
.000
.000
That team is going to hit ~0.111 overall and ZERO with men on base. Just FWIW.
