Smoltz and Joe Buck Imply LeMahieu Was Not Helped By Playing In Colorado

From last nite's all-star broadcast

John Smoltz: "But for anyone who says its just all about Colorado, DJ LeMahieu is proving that wrong"

Joe Buck: "You're right. Everybody always does "the yah but" arguments for the Colorado guys. Doesn't apply to LeMahieu."

Here are  LeMahieu's AVG-OBP-SLG home and away in the years he played for the Rockies. This  covers 400+ games both home and away. Numbers from Baseball Reference and the Baseball Reference Play Index

Home) .329-.386-.447
Away) .267-.314-.367

Playing in Colorado sure helped him a lot. One half season like this year does not prove anything.

His highest single season road OPS with the Rockies was .753. This year it is .845. That might be a bit lucky. That is in only 183 PAs
