Bryant and Line Drives

[sontensei]

Question, anyone know if Bryant has ever been a line drive hitter even in the minors? Seems like his undercut while generates tons of towering shots also causes a ton of pop ups. Do you guys think maybe thats something he will hopefully work on after the season?

His IF fly ball % is league average. His line drive percentage is 23%, slightly below average.

I remember hearing on mlb tonight that his current swing gives him his pop but also makes it really hard for him to connect square on the barrel with low pitches. I wonder if it's a tweak he will work on in the offseason.

This may be a completely dumb statement but Bryant has a swing that looks like he's not going to make contact. I don't know why it is but it looks weird to me.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

well, his contact rate is only 67 percent

Yeah thats why im saying i hope he works on leveling his swing out in the offseason a little. he will have some uppercut no matter what, but just a little more level like schwarber or rizzo and kid will easily bat .300

[Butterscup1679666578]

you should call him and tell him that

Oh man, how cool would it be if he could hit .300? That would mean he's a great player if he could hit .300.

It's a good thing he doesn't offer too much out of the zone, because he can't hit a [expletive] thing inside it

[sontensei]

Actually thats what one of the guys on mlb network was saying. i dont know [expletive].
