It’s September, which means we’re in the home stretch for various important races, like the one to see who will be the 2011 BACON champion.
It’s really anybody’s race in both leagues with just .006 of a BACON separating Robinson Cano from Jacoby Ellsbury. These things can change a lot within the course of a month – last year Ichiro trailed Adrian Beltre by .025 in the BACON race, but finished the season with the BACON title, while Beltre fell to 4th.
| Batter | BACON | AB | HBP | 0 hit games |
| Robinson Cano | .831 | 528 | 10 | 26 |
| Jacoby Ellsbury | .825 | 543 | 8 | 27 |
| Ryan Braun | .818 | 468 | 4 | 25 |
| Miguel Cabrera | .813 | 486 | 3 | 29 |
| Shane Victorino | .810 | 411 | 6 | 23 |
| Jose Reyes | .804 | 445 | 0 | 22 |
| Hunter Pence | .800 | 506 | 1 | 28 |
| Michael Young | .798 | 540 | 2 | 31 |
| Joey Votto | .796 | 496 | 4 | 36 |
| Michael Bourn | .795 | 541 | 3 | 30 |
As usual, you can keep up to date with the season BACON statistics every day on the BACON page here, but keep in mind that those standings include more than just the “qualified” players. To qualify for things like the batting title, and the BACON title, a player needs at least 3.1 plate appearance per game his team has played.
