The good news is that the power is still there. Villar’s .145 ISO is right in line with his career mark of .144 and he already has four homers this season. The bad news is that just about every other metric is trending the wrong way for Villar and for the Milwaukee Brewers.
- His overall swing percentage is up from 43.0% to 48.6% this season, so he’s swinging more often.
- His swinging strike percentage has increased from 10.6% last year to 13.8% this year, so he’s swinging and missing more often.
- Villar’s contact rate is down from 75.
