BEST MiLB Hitting Philosophy? (2024 Update) | Dodgers, Pirates, Mariners, DBacks, Yankees & More
What is the best hitting philosophy? Let's look at non-public minor league data from Class A to Triple-A and determine how teams are differentiating from one another.
Which teams hit the ball the hardest? Which swing and miss the most? Who has the best balance of power, approach, and contact?
As opposed to my pitching video where we focused on specific teams, for this video, we'll focus more on questions and attach teams to those questions. In those questions, we'll hit on the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, Seattle Mariners, Pittsburgh Pirates, Arizona Diamondbacks, and other teams.
If your team isn't shown, they probably didn't stand out, but I'm happy to answer questions below in the comments if needed.
