Dan Uggla's Hit Streak Ends
Jonathan Scippa |
Sunday, August 14, 2011 at 3:40PM Dan Uggla's 33 game hit streak came to an end versus the Cubs today in Atlanta. One of the interesting things that stood out during the streak was his increased contact on pitches up and away. Over the last two and a half seasons, you can see in the graphic below that Dan Uggla made most of his contact on inside pitches. However, during his hit streak, Uggla was putting wood on a lot of balls up and away.
The zone location breakdown of the 49 hits that Uggla accumulated over the streak was 8 inside, 19 middle, and 22 outside. His added contact on those outside pitches certainly helped keep the streak alive.
