Just taking a look at some splits and then double-splits for my man Mike (you can look it up -- not that you would -- but I've been on the bandwagon since High Desert).
Admittedly small amounts of data, so no real conclusions being drawn. For info-tainment purposes only, please.
Obviously, handedness stands out first:
vs. RHP: .258/.343/.460
vs. LHP: .200/.234/.356
So far, a solid contributor against righties, but seeming to really struggle against LHP.
And another thing that stands out is Safeco-friendliness:
Home: .250/.345/.474
Away: .237/.290/.398
4 hits in this ChiSox series boosted his road numbers. Without being totally comprehensive, it appears that the last rookie to OPS over .800 at Safeco was Chris Snelling, but he only played 19 games.
And, by month:
May: .220/.273/.415 -- 4 xbh, 3 BB, 15 K
