Mets catcher Brian Schneider has hit four home runs in his last six games, raising his season HR total to five. Where did this come from?

All five of his HRs this year have come against right-handed pitchers, so maybe there is something to this platoon thing. Of course, he’s played most of the season in a lefty-righty platoon, which presents a chicken-egg scenario.

From 2005-2007, he had 19 HRs against right-handed pitching with just 1 HR against left-handed pitching, while collecting over four times the number of ABs against right-handed pitching as against left-handed.

Ramon Castro has 3 HR against righties and 4 HR against lefties, while collecting roughly the same number of ABs against both this season.
