Getting The Runner In From Third

In a recent comment made to an entry here, I was asked:

What’s the “percentage of times [the Yankees] score a runner from third and less than 2 outs”?

Thanks to Baseball-Reference.com’s Play Index, I can share the answer.

It’s 45% of the time.

Here’s the results for the Yankees, to date, when there’s a runner on third with no outs:

And, here’s the results for the Yankees, to date, when there’s a runner on third with one out:

From the two charts above, you don’t want Miguel Cairo or Robinson Cano up in this situation. Guys like Matsui, Jeter, Cabrera, and Damon are a better bet.
