Leadoff walk stats

[JC heir]

someone told me that if you walk the leadoff batter, 65% of the time they score....I would actually think the % might even be a little higher. can anyone tell me if that is a researched figure or just one that someone pulled out of a hat??

I am currently reading Money Ball. The man that knows these stats is Bill James. You might find out from his books.
