45 points of wRC+ separate his two faces — he is markedly better against gauchers. wRC+ is an index where 100 is league average and roughly 15 points separate an average hitter from a good one, so a gap this size is not a nuance: it is two different players depending on the arm on the mound.
Which of the two applies on a given night depends on who actually starts against him and on how the game gets to the late innings — the bullpen he sees in the seventh is often a different hand than the man who opened. Tonight’s bullpen report is free.
