Checked here and didn’t see it.

I had no idea those stats were available. I’ve read that USC’s home field has a brutal hitting environment, but I don’t know how his home and road hitting and pitching stats compare. If his pitching was dramatically better at home and his hitting was worse, that could explain a lot about why he was regarded as a better pitching prospect.

The big caution flag I want to wave right now concerns his hitting at Johnson City. Lots of guys tear that league up. One random example: Yadi slugged .405 at JC in 2001 … and hasn’t slugged .400 in a full season since.

And then there’s the heartbreak of Niko …
