Chris Carter's raw power numbers have come as little surprise for the Brewers this season, but it's where he's hitting his home runs that has been noteworthy.
Entering Milwaukee's matchup against San Francisco on Tuesday, Carter ranks third in the National League with 17 homers -- putting him on pace for 44 this season -- and had struck out in 32 percent of his plate appearances. But unlike most high-homer, high-strikeout batters, Carter has displayed an impressive ability to drive the ball with power up the middle and to the opposite field more than he pulls it.
