We did this yesterday with , so let’s do it with today. For info on how this works, click back to yesterday’s post. You can find Kuroda’s splits . The same caveats as yesterday apply. The numbers listed after the jump are the park adjusted numbers.

(One change from yesterday: categories that favor pitchers will be italicized)

Strikeouts (7% decrease for lefties, 1% decrease for righties)

VS LHP: 62 SO in 408 PA (15.2%)
VS RHP: 93 SO in 430 PA (21.63%)

Walks: (8% increase for lefties, 4% increase for righties)

VS LHP: 30 BB in 408 PA (7.35%)
VS RHP: 23 BB in 430 PA (5.35%)

Singles: (4% decrease for lefties, 1% decrease for righties):

VS LHP: 55 singles in 408 PA
VS RHP: 65 singles in 430 PA

Doubles: (6% decrease for lefties, 8% decrease for righties):

VS LHP: 22 doubles in 408 PA
VS RHP: 20 doubles in 430 PA

Triples: (22% decrease for lefties, 37% decrease for righties):

VS LHP: 3 triples in 408 PA
VS RHP: 0 triples in 408 PA

Home Runs: (43% increase for lefties, 15% increase for righties):

VS LHP: 18 HR in 408 PA (1 HR every 22.667 PA)
VS RHP: 14 HR in 430 PA (1 HR every 30.714 PA)

Again, we’ve got a possible overstatement of the HR case here, just like we had with Pineda. And, we should also look here again. It may not (probably won’t) be that bad.
