Giants Hitting: Review



OK, I lied. I'm going to review the Giants hitters for April. I wish I didn't.

Three types of hitter on display for the squad as determined by the BB/K ratio (rankings are sorted by OPS):

Patient approach (BB/K, Avg.): 

5. Posey 1.00 .304
10. Panik 1.00 .267
8. 'Cutch 0.74 .221
3. Belt 0.69 .304
13. Slater 0.75 .200

Middle of the Road:

12. Tomlinson 0.33 .261
11. Hanson 0.33 .214
7. Pablo 0.31 .250
9. Blanco 0.27 .300

Williamson did not have enough AB's and not having been walked, has no BB/K ratio. I think he will settle into the Middle Approach.

Helicopter Approach:

15. Jackson 0.21 .234
16. Crawford 0.20 .204
6. Longo 0.11 2.43
17. Pence 0.09 .172
14. Gorkys 0.06.250

I don't know how some of these guys hit consistently. I think Longo eventually settles into the Middle approach and I'm surprised he's not more towards the Patient.

Stats are fun.
