League Averages
| AVG | OBP | SLG | OPS | BABIP |
| .270 | .336 | .403 | .739 | .306 |
His splits are fairly balanced, although he did hit lefties a lot better than righties this year. The high BABIP perhaps provides a little clue as to how a batter that entered the 2010 season with a career .280 batting average finished the year at .346.
