A fidgeter with his batting stance early in his career, Molina mimicked and vacillated between more accomplished hitters such as <a href="/wiki/Andr%C3%A9s_Galarraga" title="Andrés Galarraga">Andrés Galarraga</a> and Albert Pujols. However, it was a dip in his swing and an inability to get around on fastballs that sapped his efforts. Over time, with assistance of teammates such as Pujols, Molina found his comfortable stance, sounder mechanics and adopted a line-drive style of swing that eliminated the dip and helped him hit fastballs with more authority.<a href="#cite_note-Molina_skils-232">[228]</a><a href="#cite_note-All-round_game-242">[237]</a> Thus, he became a more consistent hitter as his career progressed, defying the scouting reports that he would have a weak bat. In combination with an improved ability to pull the ball and hit it up the middle, he improved his batting average, batting .293 or higher in five of his last six seasons. His line-drive pull percentage of 2009–11 increased by about 6% in 2012–13; his <a href="/wiki/Batting_average_on_balls_in_play" title="Batting average on balls in play">batting average on balls in play</a> increased from .280 in 2005–10 to .327 in 2011–13; and his <a href="/wiki/WOBA" title="WOBA">weighted on-base average</a> (wOBA)<a href="#cite_note-244">[f]</a> increased from .290 in 2009 to over .520 in 2013.<a href="#cite_note-Molina_skils-232">[228]</a><a href="#cite_note-All-round_game-242">[237]</a> To keep his bat in the lineup but allow respite from the rigors of his in-game catching duties, Molina has occasionally started at first base. Aside from swinging with increased line-drive contact and hitting fastballs with more authority, very little has actually changed in the catcher's approach.<a href="#cite_note-All-round_game-242">[237]</a> One trait that always persisted throughout his career was Molina's aggressive and free-swinging — but high-contact — batting style. Through 2012, he swung at more than 51% percent of the pitches he saw — he has a reputation for swinging at pitches in and out of the strike zone, low and away and even in toward his hands.<a href="#cite_note-Evolution-241">[236]</a> Because of his free-swinging tendency, he naturally had a <a href="/wiki/Base_on_balls" title="Base on balls">walk</a> rate (7.1%) below the Major League average (8.4%).<a href="#cite_note-Batting_statistics-30">[30]</a> Combined with his ability to put the bat on the ball quite frequently (87%) and his improved approach at the plate, he increased his career-high single-season batting average five times between 2006 and 2013.<a href="#cite_note-Statistics-1">[1]</a> Despite batting just .238 in his first three seasons and .240 after 1,000 at-bats, Molina increased his average to .284 average after 3,983 at-bats (1,132 hits) as of 2013 due in part to having only one season lower than .293 from 2009 to 2013. He hit into 27 <a href="/wiki/Double_plays" class="mw-redirect" title="Double plays">double plays</a> in 2009, but in 2012 reduced that figure to 10.<a href="#cite_note-245">[239]</a> Molina's home

A calculation system computes the number of plays made league-wide at each position and a plus-minus total rating for each player compared to a league average player. For example, if Molina made a play that only 20% of catchers would make, he was credited with .8 points – or, 1 point minus .20. If he failed to make a play that 75% of catchers made, then .75 points was subtracted from his score.<a href="#cite_note-233">[229]</a> </li> <li id="cite_note-244"><a href="#cite_ref-244">^</a> Designed to rate a player's overall batting production by assigning different weights to certain outcomes, wOBA takes into account singles, doubles, triples, home runs, hit by pitches, and unintentional walks. wOBA is based on the philosophy Tango developed that not all outcomes are proportionally weighted. Unlike slugging percentage, which assigns one base for a single, two for a double, etc., or on-base plus slugging, which assumes that one base for slugging is equal to one walk, wOBA attempts to measure the impact of each event in terms of their run-scoring value. Further, wOBA finds that OBP is 1.8 times more valuable than slugging percentage. The weight of each outcome also varies from season to season.<a href="#cite_note-243">[238]</a> </li> </ol></div></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Source_notes">Source notes</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Yadier_Molina&action=edit&section=31" title="Edit section: Source notes">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1239543626"><div class="reflist reflist-columns references-column-width" style="column-width: 30em;"> <ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-Statistics-1">^ <a href="#cite_ref-Statistics_1-0">a</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Statistics_1-1">b</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Statistics_1-2">c</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Statistics_1-3">d</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Statistics_1-4">e</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Statistics_1-5">f</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Statistics_1-6">g</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Statistics_1-7">h</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Statistics_1-8">i</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Statistics_1-9">j</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Statistics_1-10">k</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Statistics_1-11">l</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Statistics_1-12">m</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Statistics_1-13">n</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Statistics_1-14">o</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Statistics_1-15">p</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Statistics_1-16">q</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Statistics_1-17">r</a> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/molinya01.shtml">"Yadier Molina statistics and history"</a>. <a href="/wiki/Baseball-Reference.com" class="mw-redirect" title="Baseball-Reference.com">Baseball-Reference.com</a>. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130921082014/http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/molinya01.shtml">Archived</a> from the original on September 21, 2013.
