Fangraphs has him at 22.7/30.8/46.5 and an OPS split of 877/681/725. I don't know which data set is flawed (I tend to trust fangraphs in a tie breaker), but your overall point that he pulls a higher% of balls is true.
Perhaps he really was trying to be a pull hitter and failing spectacularly? Maybe the coaching staff wants him hitting a higher% of balls to Left field where he has the majority of his career production?
I don't know, I'm really not high on his chances unless he makes a significant change in his skillset.
