I’m looking for a way to determine what kind of hitter a players is. For example: are they an aggressive contact hitter who’ll swing at a lot of pitches but makes a lot of contact, or a patient hitter who doesn’t swing at much, but when they swing they drive the ball hard?
I know the current thinking is that a GOOD coach would just be able to tell one type of hitter from another and then make correct personnel decisions based on that gut feeling, but I’d like to see if it couldn’t be done a bit more scientifically, so I’m also looking for a way to measure it.
