So FYF is a free swinger after all.

Recently Fangraphs introduced their swing stats which showed how often a player swung at pitches in and out of the zone, how often they made contact and how many pitches in the zone they saw. Guess who is #5 in the majors when it comes to swinging? That's right Frenchy who swings at a whopping 56% of the pitches he sees. That includes a large 36.5% of pitches outside of the strike zone. By contrast, Kelly Johnson swings at a miniscule 19% of pitches outside the zone and our favorite hitter Chipper at a tiny 15.75% of pitches outside the zone. Problem anyone? Oh and he only makes contact 60% of the time he swings at those out of the zone pitches.

 

He should do better.

Oh, wow, totally different subject.

I thought you meant like he and McCann both moved to Alpharetta, and lived in that subdivision where they swapped wives or something. WHEW totally different subject, thought you were posting something we didn’t know.

No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
