Where he does damage, and where to pitch him
Does the most damage up and in (+1.8 vs. league per 100; 0.8 standard errors on 39 pitches, inside the noise for the best of nine cells).
Weakest middle-in (−7.1; 3.1 standard errors below average on 51 pitches). Pitchers should attack here.
Runs per 100 pitches vs. an average RHB: better · worse. Catcher’s view · 930 pitches · faded cells are within one standard error of average. A spot is called only when it is farther from average than the best or worst of nine average cells gets 95% of the time (set from the league’s own pitches: about 3 standard errors above, 2 below).
