Lifetime .295 vs RHP to .164 this season. He's still killing lefties so it's not just that he's older/not as good. Anyone have any insight as to what's going on?

If you were to ask why he's hitting 60 points above his career average against lefties, you'd get the same answer. Newtman's suggestion also applies. His career has been mostly against LL 6. While he did fine last season at 4, the slightly better pitchers are probably getting to him a bit this season. Updated Saturday, November 18 2017 @ 1:51:44 pm PST
