The Evolution of Bryson Stott 

exactly why i didn’t care about his playoff stats. he works counts

40 Games to go till Maris ,

Good point. This often goes unnoticed but frustrates pitchers immensely.

That is mostly bc he is hunting off speed, lately the Phillies have taken an approach hit offspeed stuff and let the Fastballs go ,

totally. he essentially plays pickle when he's got 2 strikes. how many times have we seen him slap something in for a hit with 2 strikes?

Definitely. They’re actually best friends, Bryce was the one who convinced the Phillies to draft Bryson in 2019. They’re from the same town and have lived together before so he’s definitely got some pointers from him for sure.

@@Nasty0ldTree Interesting. I didn't know all that.

@@shanemillard608 yeah they were roommates in spring training or something like that

Exactly they obv traded for him with his defense at CF in mind. I wonder how that Catcher the Phillies sent is doing? Last I checked he’s creeping towards being a 🔝 50 prospect overall and the 🔝 Angles prospect for now.

Not just the average, but he's also 2nd in all of baseball in slugging and OPS. Maybe the Phillies traded for the right Angels CF after all 😂

@@Soundofsilver2007 O’Hoppe was a top 10 prospect in the Phillies organization when we had him but was being blocked by JT. He started this year tearing it up with the Angels but hurt his shoulder in a game against the Yankees the other day. Not sure exactly what he did but he came out of the game in a lot of pain

Simply means more balanced, think of athletic meaning a base running stance, defending in basketball, db in football pre snap. So him being too open while also his chest being a little too bent over caused him to not have time to get his foot down square and hit higher pitches with velo, and now being a little more “athletic” aka a little more closed for balance and simplicity and chest higher not leaned over helps his body move athletically and hit that higher velo up in the zone.
