Obviously OBP isn't everything but it makes the Mendoza line BA easier to swallow.
This is why somebody will draft him. Dude has a MLB 3B arm no question. That BA is awful. But what is the one saving grace that pro teams will use to take a flyer on a guy that may not hit that terribly well? OBP all day long. A MLB team can help you with hitting, but they have to be impressed by the arm because that's something that can translate to the next level. Hell, almost every team uses 8th and 9th inning defensive subs now. With that arm why could he not be one of those guys eventually? If that's his lot in life, you have to say that's a pretty big win for him considering where he was a few years ago.
