The Padres' Luis Arraez has a unique approach at the plate, and new data released by MLB on Monday helps explain just how special he is compared to the rest of the league.
The hardest-swinging player in Major League Baseball today — perhaps ever — is sporting a .230 batting average with a good-but-not-amazing eight home runs and .452 slugging percentage.
Take heart, San Diego Padre fans: at least your team is paying Luis Arraez the league minimum, rather than paying Giancarlo Stanton at least $128 million over the next four years. Arraez is squaring up the baseball but not swinging hard. Stanton is swinging hard but barely squaring anything up. The rest of the league literally falls somewhere in between the two extremes.
