Trea Turner's Bizarre Home Run Drought at Home

In-Depth Analysis

Trea Turner's home run disparity is a statistical oddity. Despite a higher pull percentage at home, he hasn't been able to convert those into home runs. Statcast data indicates that many of his road home runs would have also cleared the fence at Citizens Bank Park. The difference seems to lie in the location of the pitches he's hitting. At home, he's excelling on outside pitches, which are harder to pull for power. On the road, he's doing damage on pitches in the middle and inside part of the plate. Interestingly, Turner is still hitting for average at home (.296), even better than on the road (.287), but his slugging percentage is significantly lower (.365 at home vs .487 on the road). He's barreled only one ball to the pull side at CBP, which resulted in a long flyout. In contrast, he's barreled eight balls to the pull side on the road, with six going for home runs. Despite this drought, the Phillies aren't overly concerned, especially considering Turner's past success hitting home runs at CBP.
