Phillies super-utility man Scott Kingery has improved leaps and bounds over his 2018 season. While last year was his first year in the majors, there is one noticeable difference in his game this year.
That difference? He stopped trying to be a power hitter. He is playing a style that suits him better.
Some fans may argue that Kingery is more aggressive as a hitter this year, and that is why his offensive numbers have improved so much. But that isn’t necessarily the case. Per Fox Sports, Scotty saw 4.06 pitches per plate appearance (PPA) in 2018.
