Plenty of hitters showing strong plate discipline

The Cincinnati Reds have the most disciplined hitter in all of Major League Baseball on their Major League roster. You may have heard of him. If not, his name is Joseph Daniel Votto, and you should probably check him out.

There’s a lot of things that make Joey Votto special. One of those things, though, is his approach to each at-bat. He swings at fewer pitches outside of the strikezone than any other Major Leaguer. That is one of the reasons that he’s among the best hitters alive. Most hitters aren’t that much different from Joey Votto when it comes to hitting baseballs in the strikezone.
