I know recency bias is a thing. I also know that we have more advanced statistics now than we did in 1970 when the Milwaukee Brewers played their first game.
Still, there is significant evidence to prove that Chris Carter hits the ball harder than nearly every Brewer to come before him. Not all, of course, because the necessary stats fall well short of 1970, but Carter is certainly among the best.
I grappled with the naming of this article. You may notice it isn’t calling Carter one of the best power hitters in Brewers history. That is simply because he has just 30 homers as a Brewer, fewer than Scooter Gennett.
