PRESS RELEASE: - OF - Jesus Feliciano

Bisons Activate OF Jesus Feliciano - IL Batting Championship Race



The Bisons have activated OF JESUS FELCIANO. He has joined the team in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and will be in uniform for tonight’s doubleheader against the Yankees.

*Additional Notes on Bisons OF Jesus Feliciano and the race for the International League Batting Championship.



With a .342 average in 78 games, Feliciano has 322 official plate appearances in 2010. Feliciano would need 67 more plate appearances (or 389 by season’s end), to have his average qualify in the International League’s batting race.

However, there is a scenario where Feliciano could win the batting championship without reaching 389 plate appearances.



As per International League rules, if a player falls a certain number of plate appearances short of qualification, additional plate appearances can be applied as hitless at-bats. For example, if Feliciano ended the season with 380 plate appearances, a theoretic 0-9 could be applied to his average. If, after that addition, the average is still highest in the league, Feliciano would win the batting championship.
