Jose Abreu's hits come on the outside half; power unlimited

Interesting to see that Abreu's batting average is so much higher middle out -- even to the point of being out of the zone. Up and away, really. This seems to support the narrative I've been building in my head that his "sweet spot" is shifted further out than most.

 

Then if you switch over to ISO/P, you see that the power is everywhere. One might even say "errrrywhere."

 

Monster pop, dudes. Monster.

Also, it's cool to see this:

Considering his perceived strengths and weaknesses, you'd think he'd be getting busted in more often, but they are really trying to go down and away.

 

Good amount of meatballs, too. I wonder if those are mostly breaking balls.
