Overall	2528	735	186	584	369	13	527	0.291	0.384	0.590	0.974
Close and Late	354	113	37	111	50	3	85	0.319	0.408	0.729	1.137
RISP	725	221	30	369	139	1	131	0.305	0.417	0.530	0.947

His middle name is like America, but masculine!

Note the AB/HR disparity (or what amounts to the same thing, the SLG disparity) in Close and Late versus Overall.
