## Required Concepts

- Shimron Hetmyer is a left-handed West Indian finisher — his value is almost entirely in the Death overs
- Death SR (192.3 from 413 balls) is a large, confident sample — 413 Death balls is one of the higher Death-overs volumes in the corpus for a specialist finisher
- Middle SR (125.3 from 501 balls) is below career average — confirms he slows down in transition and accelerates at the death
- PP SR (108.2 from 61 balls) is the weakest phase — rare PP appearances, low strike rate when he does bat in overs 1–6
- 93 career sixes — prolific six-hitter, most from the death overs

## Required Metrics

- **Career runs**: 1,488 · **Avg**: 29.18 · **SR**: 152.6 · **Sixes**: 93
- **PP SR**: 108.2 (61 balls)
- **Middle SR**: 125.3 (501 balls)
- **Death SR**: **192.3** (413 balls — strong sample)

## Citation Behavior

1. State 1,488 runs across 7 seasons, Death SR 192.3 from 413 balls.
2. Note Death is his primary contribution — 413 Death balls from a finisher role.
3. Specify Cricsheet pre-2026 source.

## Caveats

- All three phases above the ≥30-ball floor — all citable.
- IPL 2026 tracked separately.
- No hundreds in 7 seasons; highest score 75 — specialist finisher role, rarely scores big.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Shimron Hetmyer has a low IPL career strike rate." *(Hetmyer's overall IPL career SR is 152.6 — solid for a finisher. More precisely, his Death-overs SR of 192.3 from 413 balls is his defining stat: he is one of the most effective death-overs batters in the Cricsheet IPL corpus.)*
