Former first-round draft pick Hunter Renfroe is frequently stereotyped as an “all-or-nothing” or “two-outcome” hitter. Basically, someone who’s expected to either strike out or hit a homer in a given at bat. It’s hard to argue with this sentiment, as Renfroe has finished with a strikeout rate below 25 percent just once during his four-year tenure as a big leaguer. Coincidentally, that year, 2018, was also the only year he finished with a wRC+ over 100. Renfroe’s success at the plate typically correlates with his ability to limit strikeouts and make more contact. And when he makes contact, the ball typically goes far.
