2026 Cardinals hitters splits
Posted: September 16 26, 2:32 pm
Just wondered how this was looking at the end of the season and oddly you can't see these stats next to each other anywhere. So I set up a spreadsheet to compare the two for the top 20 hitters on the team (by PA on the current roster). Just a few things that stood out:
Biggest Gaps:
Burleson - AVG/OBP/SLG/OPS/wOBA
vs R - .316/.395/.548/.942/.404
vs L - .219/.255/.311/.567/.250 - vs lefties he turns into Pedro Pages
Blaze Jordan
vs R - .235/.252/.304/.556/.243
vs L - .268/.316/.507/.823/.351 - hadn't paid this much attention until now but vs lefties he's roughly been Jordan Walker. I think I do remember people calling him righty Burleson before, but that's been said about a few guys.
Saggese
vs R - .269/.296/.355/.651/.286
vs L - .263/.370/.553/.922/.391
Best Overall:
Jordan Walker
vs R - .275/.320/.468/.788/.341
vs L - .293/.377/.531/.908/.391
Consistently Pretty Good:
Ivan Herrera
vs R - .240/.334/.373/.707/.317
vs L - .248/.401/.376/.777/.351
Small Sample Sizes:
Bernal in a very small sample is right up there with Burleson's numbers vs righties, and vs lefties he's roughly equivalent to JJ overall.
Baez is kind of the reverse but more extreme in both directions. Best on the team vs lefties, roughly average vs righties.
