"What I've been working on in my stance is just to be able to pick better pitches," said Puig, through an interpreter on Tuesday after going 2-for-4 with a home run in a win over the Nationals. "Basically, what I've been working on, in changing that, hopefully I will able to connect better based on my stance."
In the 11 games since the noticeable opening-up of Puig's front foot, he's shown improved plate discipline and pitch selection, chasing pitches much less often.
From Aug. 5 and entering Sunday, Puig had swung at only 29 of the 101 offerings he'd seen outside of the strike zone, per Baseball Savant's PITCHf/x data -- a chase rate of 28.
