Breaking Down the Top MLB Hitters By Pitch Type
Miguel Sano does more with fastballs than anybody in the Majors. Who's crushing curves, sliders, change-ups and cutters?

Cutters

You don't see as many cutters as you used to, but that hasn't stopped a few of the league's preeminent hitters from taking advantage.

Despite a small sample size, Giancarlo Stanton sits atop the board, for what he has lacks in volume, he's made up for with efficiency and production.

Having hit just seven long-balls, Elvis Andrus can't say the same. But the shortstop has still managed 32 RBIs and a .305 batting average in 56 games. His top-level production against cutters has played a crucial part in that.

Considered one of the best hitters in the game for some time now, Miguel Cabrera is one of three players who's produced at least 3.8 runs above replacement and 8.4 or more per 100 cutters. In spite of what many consider to be a down season for Miggy, his 7.4% soft-contact ranks among the best in the league.
