The Brewers are the ultimate OUTLIER When I was diving in on the game and pitching matchup yesterday I found this. This is a statistic of the average degree of the barrel of the bat at contact point for each team. Everything to the left is pull side contact point. Everything to the right is opposite field contact point. 29 of the 30 teams are to the pull side. There’s just one to the opposite field. The Milwaukee Brewers. This is wild to me. And speaks volumes to their team approach. It means the ball is traveling deeper which has a ripple effect on everything else you’re trying to do as a hitter. It allows you to recognize off speed for a split second longer. Spit on pitches down and away. Keep pitches fair that you’re normally pulling foul. Foul line to foul line approach. The team with the best record in all of baseball is the ONLY team doing something. And they’re not even particularly close to any other teams. That’s pretty eye opening. Also shoutout Twins. Turn and burn, baby.
