That happens when you try to pull outside pitches

He put that swing on a hanging slider that was middle-inside yesterday and hit one out 80 feet to the left of the foul pole.

So, like someone said yesterday, his timing is off, but not because he can't time pitches, it's because he is trying to force the ball to LF. He has a Rizzo approach, but is standing normal distance from the plate.

Bregman knows how to hit the ball. I would never question his contact skills. He wants power, and he only has it to LF/pull side. He's not trying to win every game right now. He's trying to rack up numbers for negotiations. He can hit through the ball and go with any pitch when he wants.
