Kotchmans' IFFB is actually much higher to LF as is his FB% (which is normal). What isn't normal is that Kotchman hits the ball WAY harder to left field than to center and right (as evidence by the huge gap in LD%).
His power only translates to RF, buts its not frequent enough and he doesn't pull the ball very effectively. Over the past 3 years, Kotchman's SLG% is 150 points lower than the league-average left handed hitter on balls pulled to right field.
His production to left field trumps that of center and right. Maybe Wak wants him hitting the ball the other way more often to keep that advantage?
