Understanding Count Splits
Count splits show how a hitter performs in different ball-strike situations. Hitter-friendly counts (2-0, 3-1) produce dramatically better outcomes than pitcher-friendly counts (0-2, 1-2). These splits reveal a hitter's approach and discipline.
Hitter Counts (2-0, 3-1)
In hitter-friendly counts, batters can sit on their pitch and drive it. OPS in 2-0 and 3-1 counts is typically 200-400 points higher than overall averages. The best hitters capitalize on these counts with power — slugging percentages often exceed 1.000 in 3-1 counts.
Pitcher Counts (0-2, 1-2)
With two strikes, hitters shift to a protective approach. AVG drops 50-100 points and power declines sharply. Hitters who maintain high performance in 0-2 counts are elite two-strike hitters — a valuable skill for avoiding strikeouts and extending at-bats.
First-Pitch Performance
The 0-0 count reveals a hitter's aggressiveness. Hitters who swing early and effectively (high 0-0 OPS) are first-pitch fastball hunters. This data is valuable for assessing a hitter's approach against pitchers who rely on first-pitch strikes.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the best counts for hitters?
- The 3-1 and 2-0 counts are the most favorable for hitters. In these counts, pitchers must throw strikes to avoid walks, and hitters can anticipate fastballs. League-average OPS in 3-1 counts is typically 300+ points higher than overall averages.
- How do count splits help with prop betting?
- Count splits reveal which hitters capitalize on favorable counts. A hitter with elite 2-0 and 3-1 splits combined with good plate discipline (high walk rate) will get more pitches to hit. This translates to higher expected stats per plate appearance — useful for total bases and hits props.
- What does a high 0-0 count OPS mean?
- A high 0-0 OPS indicates an aggressive, effective first-pitch hitter. These hitters hunt fastballs early in the count and do damage when they get one. This is especially relevant when facing pitchers who throw a high percentage of first-pitch strikes.
