I was curious how Burrell stacked up with Longoria, who seemingly pulled everything, so I did the only sensible thing and found out.
Here's that same data in table form, remember, these are percentages of batted balls (stands = flyballs, mid-to-deep OF = liners, infield = grounders, so Longoria hit 67% of his grounders to left field.)
LD% | LF | CF | RF |
Burrell | 55 | 23 | 22 |
Pena | 7 | 22 | 71 |
Longoria | 45 | 22 | 33 |
GB% | LF | CF | RF |
Burrell | 67 | 24 | 9 |
Pena | 6 | 21 | 73 |
Longoria | 67 | 27 | 6 |
FB% | LF | CF | RF |
Burrell | 39 | 31 | 30 |
Pena | 36 | 35 | 29 |
Longoria | 31 | 37 | 32 |
So that shift that teams play on Pena? Teams should go ahead and play an inverse of that shift on Longoria and Burrell.
