How is that stat computed? Is it an average of all his balls in play? Because if so….considering that he has a lot of AB’s from the RH side….that makes it far more impressive.
Of course, Witt and Buxton both bat right handed exclusively, so maybe its not a 100% correlation, but I would typically expect this metric to be dominated by guys that hit left handed exclusively.

It's bat to ball contact to bag contact.
ETA: Sorry, I misread your post. It's an average of bat to ball contact to bag contact.
Of course, they count everything in baseball.
It looks like it's an average, since it says min. 10 attempts. So yeah, if he's leading MLB in average time to first while getting maybe 1/3 of his hits from the right side, that's impressive.
That makes sense. I was more curious on if it was just an average (which I assumed it was, given that there are a minimum number of attempts), whether they exclude XBH / home runs, etc.
I'm pretty sure it would leave out extra base hits and only count "plays at first base"
