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
