Brewers hitting approach
Core Principles of the Brewers'

Creating Chaos & Capitalizing on Mistakes: The team identity is built on grinding down opponents, taking advantage of defensive miscues, and forcing the other team to make plays under pressure.

Selective Aggression: Brewers hitters rank among the lowest in first-pitch swing rates in Major League Baseball, preferring to be patient and deep into counts, yet they do major damage when they do decide to swing early.

Scrappy, High-Contact Production: Instead of relying strictly on home runs, the offense thrives on high on-base percentages, opposite-field hitting, moving runners, and utilizing speed/baserunning.

Coach Strategy: The team utilizes a collaborative group of hitting coaches and coordinators (such as Jason Lane, Daniel Vogelbach, and others) who share a unified organizational message while tailoring mechanical and mental approaches to fit each individual hitter's strengths.
That sounds to me like an approach Edgar could relate to. I think the issue is actually getting it implemented. Thats what a great coach can accomplish, and i dont think that has to do with being good at it themselves. Maybe they should make Vogelbach manager
Every team should model this approach.

Canceled after a month, thanks for the idea!

Sorry but whoever made that comment sounds like an itdiot to me. The art of hitting a baseball is about being able to go opposite field. Unless your reggie jackson i guess
Agreed. If you have to pull the ball to hit homeruns, you shouldn't be wasting your time trying to hit homeruns, little man. Let the big boys hit it wherever the pitch is.
