Perhaps the reason that Joe Maddon loves Ward so much and decided to demote Jo Adell was that he values plate discipline more than we realize. If you thought good batted-ball luck alone was to thank for Ward's hot start, you'd be wrong.

PITTSBURGH New York Mets star first baseman Pete Alonso will miss 3-to-4 weeks with a bone bruise and a sprain in his left wrist. Now, let's dive into some noteworthy players at both ends of the spectrum to determine the significance early in the 2022 fantasy baseball. It all comes together in one neat formula with a +/- value to determine how smart a batter is approaching his plate appearances over the course of a season. At the same time, taking pitches that are called strikes result in negative run values while laying off anything in the chase or waste zone is predictably a net positive.

Swinging more often at pitches in the heart of the zone is good, while chasing is bad. The Reader's Digest version is basically that hitters are assigned run values based on how often they swing based on the quality of the pitch based on location.
A thorough explanation of the rationale behind it is available on the TangoTiger blog. Statcast's swing and take leaderboard categorized pitches in four ways: Heart, Shadow, Chase, Waste. The more likely a hitter is to swing at good pitches rather than bad ones, the better the results. Still, the basis of any offensive player evaluation begins with plate discipline. Although a strikeout suggests that the pitcher dominated the batter, the free-swinging style that generates home runs also leaves batters susceptible to. The other can be a player staring at the umpire after watching a pitch hit the catcher's mitt.
One of them often results in a long fly ball that leaves the ballpark and puts runs on the scoreboard. Admittedly, it's as exciting to measure 'swing and take' metrics as it would be to look at something like Barrels.
