I find it funny that all these writers are obsessed with players who have made swing changes leading to altered batted ball profiles, yet not one of them has bothered to mention Brandon Belt. At first glance his numbers are not much different than usual. His BB rate is a little lower and K rate a little higher. BABIP is higher than his career, but right in line with his best seasons. His ISO is higher, but it's easy to overlook something like that. Then you take a look at his batted ball profile and you see the difference is absolutely textbook: fewer ground balls, more fly balls, fewer pop-ups. Nothing fancy, just an obvious change. And it's made a huge difference. His WAR is 1st among 1B and 9th in all of baseball. wRC+ is 8th. And he's second among all 1B in DRS. Great season so far. It's a shame he's on this mediocre team.
