Left - Right Splits for MSU Hitters
Player vs RHP vs LHP
Jordan 381 & 373
Hines 354 & 179
Merch 338 & 328
Pulli 333 & 400
Stevens 333 & 250
Chance 329 & 271
Downs 314 & 250
Larry 292 & 177
Hujsak 292 & 400
Long 286 & 143
Kohler 220 & 234
Cupp 275 & 208
Powell 208 & 312
Larry is looking like Platoon these days, definitely not DH and definitely not an SEC leadoff man versus SEC lefties. Larry does have a 462 OBP vs RHP. Kohler can't hit L or R this season.
If Hines is getting a shift vs LHP he should be bunting to 3B, just get on base. Bat 8th. Or just start Stevens vs LHP.
I hope Pulliam just keeps going. Seems to do everything well. Versus RHP, Larry at 3B if he plays that position.
I would flip Mershon & Chance

6. Larry- because he is good with runners on base.
7. Kohler
8. Long/Powell
9. Pulliam
Don't ask me why but to me Mershon looks more comfortable in the 2 spot than he would at leadoff.
May be just a hunch
