(by Brett Kahn)Yet another series and another glorious version of pitcher ponage. Tomorrow, the Mets will face the Philadelphia Phillies in their home opener, the final one at Shea Stadium. They will be facing veteran Jamie Moyer.
There is one Mets player who has not only faced Moyer more times because of his previous American League experience, but who has also had the most success against the left-hander....
Carlos Delgado.
In 65 at-bats against Moyer, Delgado has 28 hits, (.431) including 7 HR's and 16 RBI's. This is somewhat surprising since Delgado is only batting .262 in his career against lefties.
Delgado is off to a quick start this season batting .350 in his first five games.
Delgado probably thrives off of the fact that Moyer is not a hard-throwing pitcher and tends to use his location to be effective. When that doesn't pan out, he is very vulnerable. We'll have to wait and see if Delgado's success can continue against Moyer this season.
