You want to see something remarkable. Just go to Baseball Reference and check out his "Splits". Pick a year, pick his career splits, it doesn't matter much.
Home/Away
First Half/Second Half
Month to Month
Playoffs he's about the same as he is in the regular season.
Only real deviance is, he generally starts off the season a little slow, and he hits Right Handed Pitching a little bit better then left handed pitching.
But....he is what he is what he is what he is.................
It's part of what got him paid what he got paid for so many years. He's one of the most predictable players from a production standpoint, in history.
He might not ever win an MVP, and he might always be a Robin to his teams Batman, but he is consistent at what he does, and teams throwing money at players love that.
Whether that stays the course for the next 14 years is to be determined. I'm sure the Mets will be happy if it stays that way for the next 8-10 years or so.
