MacNamee can be counted on to hit so long as 1) no one is on base and/or 2) there's less than 2 outs. Otherwise, he's useless.
(1) LA has 60 more at bats (like 15 more games)
(2) LA got a lot of ABs against Marist, Western Illinois, and Indiana State
(3) Mac got ABs because he could at least make contact with good pitching, Oregon series was his first splash
(4) it was at Oregon that LAs current development level got exposed, he came into that series as a top of the order hitter with a +300 batting average
(5) in sec ball, Mac hits for 2x the average of LA
