Ahead Of The Count: First & Second Plate Appearances

It is well known that hitters do better against a starter the more times they face him in a game. In 2009, pitchers limited hitters to a .256/.322/.405 line the first time through the lineup, while the hitters were able to muster a .269/.333/.433 line the second time they faced the starter, and a .282/.346/.460 line the third time they faced the starter.
