Grounded Into Double Play GIDP

GIDP stands for grounded into double play in baseball. Ground balls the batter hit that the defense turned into two outs. Other sites write it GDP.

How GIDP is calculated

Counted. Lower is better.

Slow right-handed hitters who hit the ball on the ground with runners on base lead this list; it depends on opportunities as much as on the hitter, since a double play needs a runner on first.
