These totals add up to 172/381. That's a batting average of .451...
Other observations to note:
-How about those O's? Melvin Mora, Nick Markakis, Matt Wieters, and Brian Roberts all repped the orange and black. In fact, of teams King Felix has faced at least five times, the Orioles have the highest collective batting average (.286)
-Jose Altuve, Miguel Cabrera, Mike Trout. Top players in the game today, and their dominance of the top pitcher in the AL shows why.
-Johnny Damon only faced Felix with the short hair. With the long hair, his batting average would be a couple hundred points higher.
-Honorable Mention to Nelson Cruz and Mark Teixeira, both of whom have hit 5 homers off King Felix, more than any other player.
