re: What’s wrong with Bregman?

quote:

---

He’s trying to drive a lot of pitches on the outer third pull side and simply can’t. He’s popping out a lot or making weak contact. He can’t barrel up those pitches. Needs to go oppo more and worry less about pull side HR power - at least until he figures things out with his swing.

This is the right answer

Professional hitters that go with the pitch don't get the big contracts unless they have power to all fields, which Bregman does not.

Much easier to pitch to a guy when he's trying to hit the ball to one field.
