In response to "2009 is also an interesting tale as well...." by groiny

I don't know if he got it or not, but he was on pace to have the most 0-2 counts in a season in MLB history. -- nm

123 oh-two counts in 632 plate appearances in 09. Not sure, but it doesn't seem like a historic number. (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 10:03 10
- Email Rob Neyer and ask. Going down 0-2 19.4% of the time surely can't happen often. -- nm - David Apr 20, 10:05 9
  - A quick google shows Adam Dunn face 121 oh-two's in '04, and that's the first season I looked up. - musubi Apr 20, 10:16 8
    - And there it is: Adam Dunn saw 128 oh-two counts in 2007. - musubi Apr 20, 10:18 7
      - His post-trade performance must have saved him. -- nm - David Apr 20, 10:28 3
        
        He saw 67 in 324 PA (20.7%) with the Braves, and 56 in 308 PAs (18.2%) with the Mets. He wasn't gonna catch Reynolds (21.7%). (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 10:34 2
        
        he was only 1% down, so let's not act like it was impossible. -- nm - David Apr 20, 10:41 1
        
        1% is pretty significant in this sample size. That's 21 more 0-2s. - musubi Apr 20, 10:57
      - Check Mark Reynolds if you would for last year. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 10:20 2
        
        Just did. 144 (!) oh-two counts. Yikes. If that's not a record....damn. (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 10:24 1
        
        More fun: Reynolds saw 100 oh-two counts in only 414 PAs in '07. That's 0-2 in about 24% of his plate appearances. (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 10:26
Also, talking about his first pitch batting average is wildly misleading. - David Apr 20, 10:01 1
- Agreed. I'd wager almost *everyone* in MLB does pretty well on first pitch hitting. - musubi Apr 20, 10:06
