Stat: Delgado is a Day Person

by Matthew Cerrone on June 30th, 2008 at 8:52 am

In the four games played with the Yankees on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Carlos Delgado had four hits in 15 at bats, three of which were home runs, including 10 RBI while striking out two times.

Interestingly, Delgado was 4 for 9 in the two day games, but hitless in six at bats during the other two games.

This is not an isolated trend, though.

In 30 day games this season, Delgado is batting .293, while averaging one home run every 10 or so at bats.

However, in 49 night games this season, Delgado is batting just .190, while averaging one home run every 50 at bats.

that…is amazing…i’m not one to put a whole lot in to stats like this, but, wow, that one is hard to ignore

To put this in to perspective, at that rate, with those stats, if the Mets were to play 162 day games, apparently Delgado would hit .290 with roughly 45 HR and 130 or so RBI.
