Most of the offseason focus on the Red Sox lineup has been about the lack of right-handed pop, but that’s not the only offensive deficiency we saw last year — the Sox also had the third-highest strikeout rate in the Majors. Throughout his career, plate discipline has been something Alex Bregman has excelled at, though last year his chase rate increased and he put up the lowest OBP of his career.

Regardless of what impact he ends up having on the field, Bregman already seems to be having a positive impact in the clubhouse.
