Does the most damage down and in (+5.9 vs. league per 100; 2.9 standard errors above average on 115 pitches).

Weakest middle-away (−1.6), but only 0.9 standard errors from average on 168 pitches: no in-zone spot to attack yet.

Runs per 100 pitches vs. an average LHB: better · worse. Catcher’s view · 2,657 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).
