David Lesky writes about how Bobby Witt Jr. has stopped pulling the ball for power.
My takeaway here is that there isn’t anything wrong with Witt. He’s an elite player in the game today and is putting up monster numbers right now without doing the one thing that most hitters need to do to hit for power. Whether a small sample blip or a mechanical issue that can be fixed (or both), what I take away from all of this is that there’s another gear. He has a 155 wRC+ and ranked 21st in all of baseball with that number heading into play yesterday and there’s another gear yet.
