Brett Bateman’s Contact Game | Toronto Blue Jays News

Brett Bateman’s breakout season is proving that power isn’t everything—this 24-year-old outfielder’s making waves with contact, speed, and defense, not homers. In his first major league game against the Yankees, he nearly hit for the cycle with a single, double, and triple, showing elite plate discipline and on-base skills. Acquired from the Cubs, he’s quietly rewriting expectations: six homers in 300+ minor league games? Not his thing. He thrives by focusing on what he does well, keeping strikeouts low and sprinting past defenders. Scouts call him a contact hitter with top-tier arm strength—and early stats back it up. Bateman’s proving you don’t need to be a slugger to be a superstar. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
