He just walked a lot more often - something I think we can all agree is a great thing.Deans List: Fall, 2004 Fall, 2005 Spring, 2006 He didn't hit for a significantly better average. Well, Dunn gave us a great case study and I think the results speak for themselves. So, there's been a ton of discussion on this board about what happens when you cut down on strikeouts. So, while a lot of pundits will probably talk about how Dunn hit the other way and focused on his 2 strike approach, the result of whatever changes he made was trading about 1/3 of his strikeouts for walks. Slicing those splits a bit differently, a batter can either walk, strike out, or put the ball in play.īIP: 58.0% (HR on 11.6% of Balls In Play, 6.3% Doubles)īIP: 57.8% (HR on 10.1% of Balls In Play, 8.8% Doubles) As you point out, that batting average difference is basically too small to mean anything.

However, the result of that was not a better batting average. In fact, he very well might have changed his approach. How he hit the ball the other way more and stopped trying to swing for the fences so much. I'm sure we're going to hear a lot about how Dunn became a better hitter in the 2nd half. Well Doug, that's pretty much where I was hoping to go with it.

Let's see what ORG has to offer constructively. This is about WHY Adam Dunn appears to be a completely different player in the 2nd half of 2007 and what we can expect moving forward. Please no discussion of trades, defense, or the run value of strikesouts - lots of other threads for that.

Is this a change we can expect to see in 2008 or merely a funny random distribution? Did he alter his approach? Did he get pitched to differently? Did he realize he might be a free agent and decide to try harder? In the 2nd half of 2007, Dunn made a bunch more contact and took more walks. Just a quick set of splits for those who might not have noticed:ģ57 PA.

With Dunn's extension picked up, I figured people might be interested in actually talking about him as a player again.
