That means 93% of his games where he has three or more played, like a full game, he gets on, moves the guy over, walks, hits.
He's not just walking to the batter's box and walking back.
And then I was looking at splits.
They're very similar, but Carroll is worse versus righties because he's a, which is interesting.
He's the best versus lefties.
He's not as good versus righties, but it's still a 796 where Soto versus lefties is 763.
So Soto has the lowest split of the most.
I don't know if that's enough for me.
And then there's another factor I looked into here, but they kind of were so even, so I won't even go into it.
I'm going to go with Soto.
Right field isn't a position I care about.
It might be the least position out of the nine I care about defense.
I think it's just a perk, but...
Juan Soto can impact every single game.
The only thing I don't like, the one thing in Carroll's favor is with runners on, Soto's OPS goes down 100 points and Carroll's kind of stays the same.
Soto has not been driving in his teammates, and I'd like him to do that.
But I'm going to go with Soto because day in, day out, when he plays, he's adding to a winning effort.
Only 7% of the time he doesn't.
All right, that hurts a little bit, but snaps.
