This post is full of crap and lies from start to finish; at least they should try to get their numbers right: they had 16 whiffs, and that "only" happened in half of all games during the 2026 season...
And btw, 13 whiffs happened 1151 times, so there's no statistical anomaly.
How is this possible?
During last night's World Series Game 3 on October 26, 2026, the Milwaukee Brewers saw 175 pitches and only swung and missed 13 times.
The odds of this occurring in a modern Major League Baseball game are incredibly slim, reflecting an elite contact rate of roughly 92.6% on swings. In today's high-velocity, high-spin environment, a typical MLB team averages a whiff rate of about 24% to 26% per game.
Holding a Major League pitching staff to just 13 total swinging strikes over 175 pitches is a statistical anomaly, demonstrating a hyper-disciplined approach at the plate that propelled them to a dominant 10-1 victory over the Rays.
