Counts

Anyone see Olney's blog? Interesting that Bartlett is the worst on our team at working into a hitter's count, not CC. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if CC is at less than 12%... also surprised Beej didn't make the list of working into hitter's counts.

 

Batters with highest percentage of working into hitters' counts (min. 200 PA):

  1. Albert Pujols, 33.3
  2. Ken Griffey Jr., 32.6
  3. Pat Burrell, 28.8
  4. Adam Dunn, 28.5
  5. Ray Durham, 28.0
  6. Jayson Werth, 27.9
  7. Chipper Jones, 27.7
  8. Nick Swisher, 27.4
  9. Jim Thome, 27.3
  10. Jason Giambi, 26.9

Batters with lowest percentage of working into hitters' counts (min. 200 PA):

  1. Alexei Ramirez, 8.2
  2. Ivan Rodriguez, 8.5
  3. Miguel Olivo, 9.2
  4. Joey Gathright, 10.3
  5. Clint Barmes, 11.1
  6. Erick Aybar, 11.3
  7. Carlos Gomez, 11.3
  8. Corey Patterson, 11.3
  9. Jason Bartlett, 11.7
  10. Hunter Pence, 11.8
