He is getting more patient. In his last 8 games before today he has 6 walks and only 5 strikeouts. He is showing more patience and discipline at the plate. Today he has a walk and 3-run homer.
He now has 2 walks today. So 8 walks in last 9 games counting today. If he keeps laying off the balls, they will start throwing him pitches he can handle.
First at bat tonight is a two run double.
Renfroe with a two-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the 10th to win it. He's been more patient lately, resulting in better pitches to hit.
He has adjusted at every level so far.
I don't know why you guys waste your time following hunter. Random has said renfroe will never make it so it's settled
Walk/strikeouts
Through May 5 - 2/36
May 6-today - 9/7
Season OBP rises from .218 to .273 in last ten days
Same reason I follow Graveman, Frazier, Dak, Darius Slay, etc. They are ours.Quote:

Graveman has pitched well. He has an ERA of 3.95 in 7 starts. He had one bad outing. Take that bad start away and he has a 2.87 ERA in the other 6 starts.
Mitch Moreland has cooled off. Batted .273 in April and only .214 in May. He reached as high as .358 on April 18. Currently sitting around .254 for the season with 2 homers and 15 doubles.
The thing about Frazier's defense is that it doesn't have to be great, because he is so versatile. He can play about 6 positions in the field if he has to. He is like a swiss-army knife.Quote:

He actually just got reactivated last Thursday. He's playing as a super-utility guy moving between 2B and OF regularly.Quote:

Moreland and Renfroe both have homers today. Frazier goes 3-5 with 4 RBI and 2 runs scored.
I would trade Swanson for Frazier right now and let Albies play short. Of course it won't happen but wishful thinking for a MSU / Braves fan.
I was working in Pittsburgh this week and caught this game. I wore my State baseball shirt and talked to people around me about Frazier. After his first hit he got picked off first. A guy close by gave me a little ribbing about State teaching base running and I told him after watching our current team I had no comeback for him.Quote:

Today Renfroe goes 3-4 with an RBI, Moreland has a home run, and Frazier goes 2-3 with a walk and a run scored in 1-0 victory.
Frazier now up to .369. Renfroe up to .218.
up to .218- he's rolling now
His strikeout to walk ratio has definitely improved, so his OBP has had a noticeable jump. He's hitting the ball harder, laying off stuff outside the strike zone. Even his outs are harder hit balls.Quote:

He's got to stick with it on this progress. He has been much more disciplined in the last 2 weeks. He's got to avoid falling back into the mode of swinging at everything.
yep- something has clicked. He is starting to walk more and be more selective.
He has adjusted a lot since his time at state. He has changed his batting stance and leg kick. He is never probably a guy that will hit.300 but when you can hit it 450-500 feet you have a lot more leeway.Quote:
