J. D. Drew vs. Matt Thornton — Matchup Analysis
Matt Thornton has kept Drew in check relative to their career standard. With only 6 plate appearances this is early evidence, but it leans Thornton. An OPS of 0.750 is a solid mark overall, but it sits 14% below where Drew typically operates, reflecting a pitcher making a great hitter work harder than usual. Even with Drew striking out less often than usual, once every 6 PA versus a career rate of once every 5.4 PA, the overall production numbers still favor Thornton. Slight edge: Thornton.
