The more Daniel Vogelbach, the Mets’ new designated hitter learns, the less he swings.
The more Daniel Vogelbach learns, the less he swings.
The approach and its results helped entice the Mets, who acquired Vogelbach from the Pirates in July, and has made him a truly unique batter — one who uses his bat less often than anyone else.at Citi Field on Friday, Vogelbach, who went 0-for-2 with a walk, had swung at 32.2 percent of the pitches he had seen this season. The mark was easily the lowest among major leaguers with at least 100 plate appearances and comes with good company: No. 2 was Juan Soto at 35.4 percent.
The selectivity helps Vogelbach swing at the right pitches and leads him to reach base more often, having walked seven times in his first 10 games with the Mets. “I gotta be OK hitting with two strikes,” said Vogelbach, who had a respectable .593 OPS with two strikes this season. “Some guys, you don’t want to get to two strikes. Some guys are OK with it. It just depends on the type of pitcher and the pitches they have.”
