Get StartedGreat new approach. Different and working
He has ungodly splits versus RHP which cannot be maintained or explained by simply stating new approach.
I'd certainly expect his splits vs RHP to come down. But on the other hand his splits vs LHP will surely come up. They are horrible right now.
Exactly, it makes no sense and having a 17.4 PA/BB rate does not suggest he can maintain.

He was always a little more patient than this.. however, he hasn't ever clicked this well in the majors, so maybe he's just swinging away while he's hot. Over a full season, I'd expect his OBP to be at least .60 higher than his avg. He's an improvement over Hunter in the walks area already.. in fact, he's an improvement over Hunter all together.
He changed everything, he looks totally different at the plate. it's working. I don't expect it to last, just saying it's made a difference. There are no stats for that rebbiv.He has ungodly splits versus RHP which cannot be maintained or explained by simply stating new approach.

Was looking at the chances of him possibly winning a batting title this year...but it's not looking good.
In order to be "qualified" he needs at least 3.1 PA per all of the team's games (so 502.2+ PA in a season).
The Tigers have played 90 games, in order to be qualified a Tiger player would need at least 279 PA
In the 54 games, JD has had 201 PA, or 3.72 PA per game.
With 72 games left, JD would need 302 PA to reach qualified status. This comes out to 4.19 PA per game.
The good news...in the last 30 days, JD has had 121 PA in 28 games (4.32 PA per game).
