Its a good thing the Cubs play a lot of day games because Kosuke Fukudome leads the majors with a .417 average and has a solid .617 slugging percentage during day games. Those numbers come down quite a bit though during night games where he is batting only .269 and slugging only .365. The sample sizes are pretty equal with 60 at bats during the day and 52 at night.
Further proving Fukudome is not a night person he has three stolen bases, nine RBIs and 37 total bases during the day. At night those numbers drop to no stolen bases, one RBI and only 19 total bases. Maybe Fukudome needs to invest in some Red Bull or make a Starbucks run before his next night game.
