He's not God, but he's pretty close. Who has had the most success vs King Felix in their career?

Felix Hernandez Killers

DH Jim Thome                9/19      .474/.583/1.105
P Edgar Gonzalez           1/2        .500/.500/.500
C Joe Mauer                   14/37    .378/.439/.649
1B Miguel Cabrera          11/26    .423/.516/.500
2B Jose Altuve                8/18      .444/.500/.611
3B Melvin Mora               10/26    .385/.448/.423
SS Orlando Cabrera       16/36    .444/.432/.556
OF Nick Markakis           14/31    .452/.528/.548
OF Mike Trout                 18/47   .383/.404/.660
OF Johnny Damon          11/22   .500/.593/.818


Bench:
OF Grady Sizemore        9/18    .500/.550/.889
OF Endy Chavez             7/14   .500/.500/.500
OF/1B Lance Berkman   6/13    .462/..462/.615
OF Colby Rasmus          7/10    .700/.800/1.000
C Matt Wieters                5/13    .385/.429/.462
DH David Ortiz               13/36   .361/.455/.500
2B Brian Roberts            13/13  .361/.452/.500

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.
