Late Bloomer
Ryan Ludwick seems to have found himself at age 29. He hit two home runs today, including the game winner in the bottom of the tenth. He now has ten on the season; his career high is 14. His career slugging percentage of .481 indicated he had some power, but this season he's added the ability to get on base, .406 after this game. His career OBA is just .331. He's one of the reasons the Cardinals are in contention this year, but his likely regression to his mean may keep St. Louis from staying there.

His splits against lefties is actually worse than his career numbers this year. He's batting .394 with a 1.164 OPS against RHP with a *cough* .561 BABIP.
As long as he doesn't get to face any lefties he's awesome.
