Michael Busch is On Time, On Target, and On a Tear

Posted Jul 11, 2025
Michael Busch produced fairly well against fastballs last year, but this season, he's taken another big step forward. Busch whiffed on 21.3% of swings against fastballs in 2024, but that figure is down to 12.3% this year. Since he crushes the heater when he makes contact with it, that extra helping of contact on the heat goes a very long way. (North Side Baseball)
