The problem is that Kotchman is an extreme opposite field hitter.
His HR power only translates to his pull side, but all of his hits/2Bs are to left field.
Hes a career 877 OPS hitter to left, 681 to center, and 725 to right.
Heres to distribution of his FB%:
Left - 44.4%
Center - 33.2%
Right - 19.9%
His swing is actually a pretty poor fit for the park.
