Show Notes
The Toronto Blue Jays contact-heavy hitting approach, which led the league in batting average last year, has been a key factor in their success. Despite ranking just eleventh in home runs, they combined contact with power, placing third in on-base plus slugging. Their intense training has resulted in versatile hitters who can move runners and hit big shots with two strikes. However, other teams are hesitant to copy this approach due to the modern baseballs emphasis on power over average. High batting average rarely wins titles anymore, and pitching has evolved, making contact tougher.
