context_page_description: David Bruce Bergman was an American Major League Baseball first baseman, designated hitter and left fielder.
context_section_description: Bergman was noted for his extreme righty/lefty splits, which led to his long career as a part-time or platoon player.  He batted .264/.356/.377 against right handed pitchers in 2,825 plate appearances.  Against left handed pitchers, he batted .196/.265/.271 in only 289 plate appearances. Despite not usually hitting for a high batting average (.258 career), he finished his career with a respectable Adjusted OPS of 101, mostly on the strength of his on-base ability.  Bergman was noted for his strike zone judgment, and accumulated more base on balls than strikeouts over the course of his career (380 to 347).
