Renfroe’s strikeout rate of 18.1% is the lowest of his career, continuing the trend of the past few years of his career. He also has a career-high walk rate of 10.6%.
ANAHEIM — In an era when pitchers are throwing nastier and nastier stuff and strikeout rates continue to climb, Hunter Renfroe has gone the other direction.
While that could be dismissed as a product of the relatively small sample size of 94 plate appearances, it continues the pattern of the large sample size of his past several seasons. “Obviously, just experience,” Renfroe said. “I think that’s kind of the biggest thing. Knowing how people are going to pitch me. Knowing what happened in the past. Every failure I do I try to learn from and try to make changes and try to better myself.”
With two strikes, he’s whiffed on just 9% of his swings, also the lowest rate of the last five years.“That’s kind of the biggest thing is trying to swing at good pitches in the zone and try to make sure I put the bat on the ball when I need to put the bat on the ball,” Renfroe said. “The biggest key is hitting the pitches I need to hit. Obviously, there’s times where it’s tough, shadows and tough sunlight, and things that like. You have to mitigate those things and try to put the ball in play.
