I feel like "Harper needs better protection to see better pitches" has become canon & stats just don't match. Try this out.. 3 guys hit behind him >100 times. Harper's zone%, by next-batter: Schwarb: 48.6% JTReal: 49.7% Bohm: 55.1% (!) Was Bohm protecting more than Schwarbs?!

Can we do this with guy hitting in front instead please?
sure. In that case, it was almost exclusively just Trea and Schwarber. So, two very good (if very different) hitters. Harper's zone % .. 43.7% Schwarb 41.5% Trea

How much do these numbers change when there’s a player on base while Harper is batting

What's the number for other great hitters? Judge, Ohtani, Schwarber, Raleigh?
