His power also took a leap last year as his HR/FB elevated from 8 percent to an above-league-average 13.6 percent. Looking at his righty-lefty splits, it appears Wieters' primary problem is from the left side, where he hit .235 with 11 homers as compared to .339/11 right-handed. Closer inspection reveals Wieters actually fanned at a lesser rate versus lefties, he was just snakebit with a .250 BABIP, compared to .380 versus righties. So while some are predicting a breakout season for the switch-hitter, an argument can be made that 2011 was his breakout campaign, but it was masked by some misfortune on batted balls from the left side. Wieters will turn just 26 in May, so there is every reason to believe the best is yet to come. While he is likely to fall short of the 'Mark Teixeira with a catcher's mitt' comparison, Wieters in on pace to become one of the top receivers in the game.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Mon Feb 27"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.4,"playerRater15DAY":-2.4,"positionRank":11}
