Who hit the best against he best at the 2015 ISC?
The average player hit .202 this year against national team pitchers at the 2015 ISC in South Bend.  This is a big difference from the non NTPS, who had a batting average against them of .272.  The overall ISC batting average was .245.  Once again, this shows the unique skill it takes to hit world class pitching.  There were only 18 players total that hit over .300 against NTPs and 11 of those hit .400 or better with a minimum of 8 plate appearances.  Blake Underwood of the Kitchener Cubs  was the top hitter against NTP’s and ISC Rookie of The Year winner, Kallan Compain from New Zealand, was second. National team members, Pat Sagdal (USA), Joel Southam (Australia) and Steve Mullaley (Canada) round out the top five.
In comparison to averages and Major league Baseball, the average MLB batting average is .251 and an MLB All Star pitcher has a batting average against him of .214. These numbers are nearly identical to how batters performed against ISC pitchers overall and national team pitchers (All Stars).
