Why can’t Kyle Higashioka walk?

One of the reasons why on-base percentage is a better metric than batting average is because there’s a whole host of possible outcomes that aren’t a hit or an out. Failing to fold those into our evaluation of a player misses a lot of what can make that player really valuable.
Unless you’re Kyle Higashioka in which case, for the last two years, there has been almost no reason to look at your OBP. He hasn’t drawn a walk since August 30, 2018, hasn’t been hit by a pitch since the 19th of the same month, and if it weren’t for a single sacrifice fly, Higashioka would boast the exact same batting average as his OBP over the past two calendar seasons.
