Checking Back In On Matt Carpenter's Production Vs. LHP

In February, based on a comment in the 2018 Baseball Prospectus Annual, I wrote about Matt Carpenter's 2017 numbers versus left-handed pitchers. They weren't good. In 137 plate appearances, he had a slash line of .202/.343/.321, good for a wRC+ of 85. As shown here, he hit for virtually no power, and ended the season with only eight extra-base hits against lefties, including just two home runs.
