LF vs RHP: .296/.349/.491
LF vs LHP: .227/.354/.439
RF vs RHP: .333/.413/.515
RF vs LHP: .308/.428/.400
DH vs RHP: .293/.335/.460
DH vs LHP: .350/.409/.450
Growing up a Sox fan in Maryland I saw a lot of Orioles baseball, I remember Earl Weaver had a pretty strict platoon of Gary Roenicke and John Lowenstein, Roenicke got most of the almost all of the at bats vs LHP and Lowenstein got a majority of the at bats vs RHP. It made 2 somewhat average hitters into 1 pretty good offensive spot in the lineup.
The stats above are 2023 stats for:
LF vs RHP: .296/.349/.491 Duran
LF vs LHP: .227/.354/.439 O’Neill
RF vs RHP: .333/.413/.515 Abreu
RF vs LHP: .308/.428/.400 Refsnyder
DH vs RHP: .293/.335/.460 Yoshida
DH vs LHP: .350/.409/.450 Dalbec
I realize there are some limited sample sizes, and am certain that some guys won’t put up these numbers with more at bats, but I also think several guys could put up better numbers. I think the infield for the Sox will be pretty set in stone if Grissom is what they hope he is, Rafaela in CF represents an opportunity for this club to show they are committed to helping the pitching staff with some defense, and hopefully Wong gets a 2/3 split at catcher. I strongly believe that Cora should use strong side platoons a lot in the corner OF spots and DH., to maximize the club’s offensive potential.
