He definitely sees better pitches to leadoff the game, its not even a question, the stats have been posted before. He sees far more fastballs to start off the game than he does in his other ABs.
Also leading off the game this year Soriano is 17 for 48 with 5 HR and 2 walks in 50 games
.354 avg .380 OBP, 1.088 OPS when leading off the game.
I'd say that's just a touch better than Patterson could muster even in his wettest wildest dreams.
