Justin Morneau has taken 30 swings on Fastballs Down and Away from RHP’s this season, with just 1 hit in those 30 swings – a softly hit single off of John Lackey. Morneau faces Jered Weaver (LAA) tonight, who has lived Down and Away from him, throwing 60% of his fastballs in that location. | ||||||||||||||

Ryan Howard (PHI) has chased 42 percent of curveballs from LHP’s out of the strike zone this season (25 of 60). He chased 20 percent last season. Howard faces LHP Dontrelle Willis tonight, who gets LHB’s to chase curveballs more than the average LHP. | ||||||||||||||
