Yeah but he got that pitch twice.  You don't get his stats without knowing what you can and can't hit.

Exactly. It was two strikes. He knows he can't hit that. And he knows it is starting inside. If he swings, he misses on what could be an inside pitch (which with his OBP is what most throw him.) If he takes, he has a shot. It was simply a great pitch.
