Stats: David Wright is a Streaky Hitter
David Wright had just four hits in 20 bats during the team’s recently-concluded five-game home stand.
He struck out roughly half of his plate appearances.
Wright did make two fantastic plays on defense Sunday, which you can read about in the Daily News.
Wright is batting .405 on the road, but just .271 in Citi Field this season.
What’s worse, Wright is striking out roughly 30 percent of his at bats in Citi Field, but just 18 percent of his at bats on the road.
In looking at his season as a whole, and his career for that matter, it seems Wright is just super streaky.
He’ll appear totally locked-in for 10 games or so, looking focused, with a level swing, all while hitting the other way; then, in the blink of an eye, for the next 10 days, he’ll return to looking uncomfortable, with a looping swing, while missing outside pitches and appearing pull-happy.
In Wright’s first 38 at bats of the season, the majority of which were on the road, he hit .342.
During the next 44 at bats, most all of which were in Citi Field, he hit .227; then hit .457 through the following 70 at bats, which were split between home and away.
Since, he’s batting just .179 in his last 28 at bats, most all of which were at home over the last week.
In other words, hot, cold, very hot, then very cold.
