Does the most damage up and in (+7.7 vs. league per 100; 3.4 standard errors above average on 27 pitches).

Weakest middle-middle (−7.0; 3.1 standard errors below average on 59 pitches). Pitchers should attack here.

Runs per 100 pitches vs. an average RHB: better · worse. Catcher’s view · 804 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).
