I should not have been that surprised the Chase Utley was able to take CC Sabathia deep in game one of the World Series. In 2009, Chase held the fourth best AB/HR for lefty on lefty matchups at 17.4 AB per HR (minimum, 150 AB against lefties). Only Prince Fielder, Carlos Pena, and Russell Branyan did better. Since Chase became a regular in 2005, he ranks 13th among left-handed hitters with at least 600 AB against LHP at 23.4 AB per HR. Prince Fielder is also number on on this list at 16.8 AB per HR.
