Bonds-zo's Montreux
As Barry Bonds prepares to hit his historic 600th home run, I thought it would be fun to look at the next four starting pitchers that he will face. I know that I just upbraided Jayson Stark for doing just this yesterday, but it's just so damn fun:
Pitcher AB H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO hbp AVG OBP SLG OPS HR/PA Kerry Wood 14 3 0 1 0 3 2 2 1 .214 .353 .357 .710 .000 Matt Clement 10 4 1 0 1 4 1 0 0 .400 .455 .800 1.255 .091 Kip Wells 2 2 0 0 1 4 1 0 0 1.000 1.000 2.500 3.500 .333 Kris Benson 10 6 0 0 1 1 6 1 0 .600 .750 .900 1.650 .063 36 15 1 1 3 12 10 3 1 .417 .553 .750 1.303 .064 Career 8204 505 73 1614 1318 71 .294 .424 .592 1.016 .058 2410 599 1848
Those are some great numbers. Notice that in the small sample, Bonds HR-per-Plate-Appearance rate is higher than his career average. I don't think it means anything at all, but it's kind of interesting.
