Platoon splits
Platoon splits (EB/PA)
Better vs RHP than vs LHP by 0.013 EB/PA (modeled).
50% probable range: -0.007 to +0.033
That interval crosses zero, so the model can’t confidently say which side he’s actually better against.
vs LHP: shrunk estimate 0.377 EB/PA, 50% probable range 0.350 to 0.403, based on 20 plate appearances. Raw (unshrunk) rate: 0.367 EB/PA. League median vs LHP: 0.425 EB/PA.
vs RHP: shrunk estimate 0.390 EB/PA, 50% probable range 0.366 to 0.411, based on 132 plate appearances. Raw (unshrunk) rate: 0.372 EB/PA. League median vs RHP: 0.436 EB/PA.
About the typical split for a switch hitter (median 0.015). He sits below the league median against both hands.
He sits in the league's bottom quarter vs both lefties and righties.
How to read this chart
- Tap or hover any mark for its number, or tab to a row for all of them.
- His raw rate is the unshrunk number against that hand — small samples make it noisy, which is why the model pulls his estimate toward a more trustworthy value.
- “Middle half of the league” is the 25th–75th percentile of all hitters against that hand.
- Drew Millas switch-hits — he can choose the platoon-advantaged side almost every plate appearance, so a small gap here is expected. It is not missing data or a modeling error.
- Shrunk splits beat raw splits decisively at low PA counts and converge with them as playing time builds — individual platoon gaps need roughly 1,000+ PA vs a hand before the raw number alone can be trusted.

Swing
Swing at a glance
Batting left
Swings slower than most hitters. His swing length is typical, but his attack angle is flatter than most. Shortens up more than most hitters with two strikes. Batting left, his bat travels on a fairly typical path; batting right, a steeper path than most.
- Attack angle

- Lg median 9.4°

- Swing path tilt

- Lg median 32.4°
How to read this chart
- Competitive swings: bunts and checked-type swings under 50 mph are excluded, so these numbers sit a touch below the bat speeds Savant publishes, which use a different cut.
- League tracking starts in 2024, and early 2024 has small gaps — about 93% of swings that season have a reading.
- Swing length — how far the sweet spot of the bat travels during the swing.
- Attack angle — the bat’s upward or downward tilt through the zone.
- Swing path tilt — how steep the bat’s path is.
- None of these is better or worse on its own — swing style trades power against contact (the fastest and slowest swings in the league both belong to stars).
How he sets up
How he sets up
An open stance — 29° open; the average hitter is 13° open.
Month by month this season, from his setup about a second before each pitch.
How to read this chart
- Overhead view of the batter’s box. The dots are his feet, reconstructed from Statcast’s stance measurements — hip position, foot separation, and stance angle — about one second before the pitch. It’s an approximation of his setup, not his stride or swing.
- Open means his front foot is pulled off the line to the plate; closed means it steps toward it. The average hitter sets up slightly open.
- The change line above only appears for a sustained month-over-month move that clears normal Statcast noise by a wide margin.
- The chart is his month-by-month average for whichever measure you pick, this season only. A month needs 25 tracked swings to appear, so an injured or platooned month can be missing. The shaded band and dashed line are where the middle half of hitters, and the median hitter, sat over their whole season.
- On the angle chart, below zero is an open stance and above zero is a closed one — hover a point (or drag on a phone) and it says which in words.
