2205248, My favorite prospect growing point: the reverse platoon split

For prospects without NCAA seasoning, we'll see occasionally that a righthanded hitter suffers from the lack of experience with left-handed pitching. Even high-school kids in California and Texas whose schedules resemble younger professionals just don't get left-handers with more than one pitch very often. Soooooo, they struggle against guys that they're suppose to see pretty well.
And then they don't, because that actually doesn't make sense.
Byron Buxton, in a tiny sample, has a .571 OPS against lefties. Expect that to change soon.
