Wil Nieves started at catcher tonight and went 0-for-2. He's now 2-for-25 (.080/.080/.080) since May 1, but continues to serve as Randy Wolf's personal catcher.
As you might imagine, Nieves and his sub-.400 OPS haven't driven many runs home this season. In fact, he's still looking for his first 2011 RBI after 54 plate appearances. There are only eight players in Brewer history who have batted at least 55 times in a season without an RBI. As you might expect, almost all of them are pitchers:
Player | Season | PA |
Doug Davis | 2004 | 71 |
Steve Woodard | 1999 | 69 |
Scott Karl | 1998 | 69 |
Dave Bush | 2008 | 63 |
Matt Kinney | 2003 | 62 |
Mike Felder | 1985 | 62 |
Skip Lockwood | 1972 | 60 |
Jimmy Haynes | 2001 | 59 |
Felder is the only position player on this list: he was held without an RBI for 15 games in his debut season in the major leagues. He went on to have a ten year major league career.
