Bryan Reynolds' 2025 struggles with Pirates can be traced back to this change

Related Topics: Bryan Reynolds

Bryan Reynolds has been a consistently good hitter for the Pittsburgh Pirates since 2019, but he is having the worst year of his career in 2025. He is slashing a meager .242/.299/.396 on the year with a .302 wOBA, and 90 wRC+.

Prior to this, he never once posted a wRC+ under 110 (minus the shortened 2020 season). He only has a .154 isolated slugging percentage and is walking at a career-low 7.1% rate. Strikeouts have been an unusual issue for Reynolds, as he's been sat down 27.1% of the time in that department.

A look under the hood only shows he’s mostly doing everything the same as he usually does.
