Nelson Cruz's secondary batting average, which leads the Twins (24th in MLB). Secondary average measures extra bases players gain on hits, walks and steals (minus caught stealing) per at-bat independent of batting average. Players with power, speed and a good eye are rewarded — a perfect measurement for Mike Trout. (Entering Saturday; source: ESPN)
