Line Drive leaders in MLB (min 250 PA)Petco Park has little effect on line drives. Is it any wonder that Logan Forsythe can hit so much better at home? Logan Forsythe SplitsHome .322 .392 .487 .879 Away .260 .336 .328 .664 We need more players like that.

Logan Forsythe is now hitting .296. That ties Donorifa for first on the Padres. Forsythe almost has as many plate appearances as Donorifa.
333 PA Chris Denorfia .297 .355 .458 .813
290 PA Logan Forsythe .297 .367 .421 .788
Forsythe is much better offensively for two reasons:
1. He plays 2B not RF
2. He has had a good mix of at bats between LHP and RHP while Donorifa has more PA against LHP.
Forsythe is 25
Donorifa is 32

Forsythe is 25 Donorifa is 32 If Forsythe had the same mix of facing LHP and RHP as Denforia and hit exactly the same against both his stats would be: .312 .386 .439 .825 If Donorfia had a normal number of PA against LHP and RHP, and hit the same against each he would be HITTING: .278 .337 .437 .774 - A little worse than Forsythe's numbers. |
