"Despite being on the receiving end of 147 pitches so far, the Cubs third baseman has swung at just TWO pitches outside of the strikezone. Statcast has him with an O-swing rate of just 6.3%, which is BY FAR the best mark in baseball."
"The next closest player, Taylor Ward, has an 11.3% O-swing rate. League average is 30.4%. Bregman’s performance indicates he is making VERY good choices at the plate."
"Pete Crow-Armstrong struck out just 23.9% of the time in 2024 and 24.0% in 2025. His current strikeout rate of 27.6% is based on only 29 plate appearances, which is not THAT crazy of a K-rate."
Alex Bregman has swung at only two pitches outside the strike zone this year, resulting in an O-swing rate of 6.3%, the best in baseball. The next closest player has an O-swing rate of 11.3%, while the league average is 30.4%. Bregman's disciplined approach suggests a promising offensive season ahead. In contrast, Pete Crow-Armstrong, often labeled a strikeout machine, has a strikeout rate of 27.6% this season, which is not excessively high given his limited plate appearances.
