It's easy to take for granted a player that has become so familiar. That's when it can help to see him through the eyes of his opponents.
Last night the Rangers announcers highlighted Bregman's increasingly rare talent with these stats: "
Players with at least 25 HR's & more walks than strikeouts".
It was a
short list.
Only MLB Players with 25+ HR & more walks than strikeouts ML Players HR BB SO Mike Trout 30 77 70 A Bregman 26 76 56 |
In 2016, only
five players had more walks than K's, including one Astro. This article did not focus just on HR hitters.
Thankful to see Bregman's
interview about the HBP and the game last night.
He is a rare talent!
