Analytics are most valuable in full context. Compared to others, esp Bell, how many pitches does Arraez see? That’s a stat that has great value to a team battery. How many 2-strike pitches? Many of his surplus “poor contact swings” or “swings at balls outside the strike zone” are merely him defending the plate with 2 strikes in place, which he does extremely well. Weak balls in play aren’t a good outcome but numerous fowl balls help the at-bats that follow, and get the starter out sooner.
