Brewers have by far the best batting average in the MLB in August

Things are going great for the Milwaukee Brewers so far in August.

Through Saturday, Milwaukee had the best team batting average in Major League Baseball at .318, leading by 36 points.

Behind the Brewers were the San Diego Padres with a team batting average of .282.

As a team, Milwaukee has a batting average of .318/ .401/ .530 in August, making it the best in MLB in all areas except slugging percentage, where only the Arizona Diamondbacks are better at .535.

Since Christian Yelich left Milwaukee’s lineup due to injury, the Brewers’ hitters have stepped up their game and done even more.

Six Milwaukee players have achieved a batting average well over .300 this month:

Jackson Chourio: .394

Gary Sanchez: .333

William Contreras: .345

Willy Adames: .321

Sal Frelick: .364

Rhys Hoskins: .346

It was recently reported that Jackson Chourio has a lot to prove for the remainder of the season, and he has certainly proven his worth so far this month.

Will Chourio and the Brew Crew keep their bats burning long enough to secure the National League Central crown?

Milwaukee had a seven-game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals this weekend. Things are looking good at American Family Field.
