No doubt.

Seems he is ramping up his HR power gradually as he gets older and more disciplined at the plate, which makes total sense.


HRs Per Plate Appearance:

LSU 1.91%
LSU 2.12%
LSU 2.88%
Rookie 3.69%
2nd Yr. 3.04% (last year)
3rd Yr. 4.59% (this year)


ETA:

And you know his average this year will come back down to Earth. He's on a heater. Heaters always cool a bit.

His HR total is only 5 behind with 80 less abs. .

He averages a home run every 21 ABs. Bregman hits a home run every 18 ABs. So yeah, he's still not performing at Bregman's level there.

Bregman averages 1 RBI every 6 ABs. Correa averages 1 RBI every 5.5 ABs, so the difference is pretty negligible there.

Bregman has an OPS of .915, Correa .832. Bregman has an oWAR of 4.5, Correa 2.5. Bregman leads Correa in basically every meaningful offensive statistic this year.

how about early this season when he was at 250. Or last season when he dropped down to 244. If someone has low batting average and jumps up by end of season to around 290 that typically means he is streaky. And yes we can also include his first season which had multiple streaky points. Why would I look at minor league or college when we are talking pros condescending little douche

Also, I never said slump moron. You did. I said streaky with highs and lows. Slump is his 0-30 start. Streaky is different

because it was said "every year" he's streaky. He hasn't even played two complete seasons worth of major league baseball "douche." Kind of a small sample size, don't you think? Bregman is not a streaky player, never has been. I could find a dip in batting average for any player in the major leagues. Does that make everyone a streaky player? (That's a rhetorical question)

ETA: and Bregman's BA has been on a steady rise throughout the season this year. Pretty much the same story last season. Same story his first season after his 1/32 start. I wouldn't exactly call that streaky, but rather a guy that gradually gets better throughout the season, which is exactly what you want, but to each his own.

That's implicit in calling him a streaky player "moron." How old are you? Ad hominem comments add nothing to your argument. Do better.

He is on a roll right now, that much I know. I've been a Rangers fan my whole life, but it is awesome to see him raking in Houston. Nice being in the middle of his New Mexico roots and Baton Rouge.
