In this week’s “By The Numbers” breakdown, we are once again going to focus our analysis on combining ideal offensive metrics parameters. The goal will be to narrow down the mass field of players that excel in specific areas such as superior plate discipline, contact, and power to find out who has been doing well at all three since August 1.
The ideal hitting approach for anyone should be to limit the number of pitches attacked outside of the strike zone, maximizing contact on pitches attacked within the strike zone, and making contact on the barrel whenever possible.
