MLB trends: Kyle Schwarber and Brady Singer take on lefties, plus stolen bases skyrocket early in 2025

We are in about three weeks in the 2025 MLB regular season, which is about when sample sizes stop being so small, but when you are still free. Because it’s too early. So so soon. If the 162 game season was a nine introductory game, there would be two e-lingerie at the bottom of the first underwear. It’s a long season, people. A very long season.

And yet, there are a few things we can shine with a small baseball baseball played. There are three trends here now that it is worth knowing a day for three weeks in a new season.

Schwarber The Lefty Destroyer

It is noteworthy how many tools are teams and players now at their disposal. The team is quite literally literally labeled laboratories to help their pitchers and strokes to improve. “The average player becomes the whole star”, it is sexy, even though the teams are not always pursuing. If there is a way to make players even a 2% better, they are looking for it. Every little little thing.

The player’s development is not limited to young players. Veteran improvement also qualifies player development (See Tommy Edman and Dodgers) One of the most important stories of the success repayment of the recent veteran player’s development is a step towards the left-handed pitchers. Responsible for southern bonds, Phillies Slugger is now dangerous against the same side jurisdiction.

Last Tuesdays, Schwarper launched this absolute NUKE OFF sales at NL Cy Young Chris. It was both the farthest (462 feet) and the hardest hit (116.7 miles / hour speed) Homework’s sales allowed from the left in his career.

Jumping on Tuesday night, Schwvwin was 9 for 9 (.429) at three home-in-house three homes, as he was about half the bats. It is a small sample, no doubt, but the improvement of Schvarbor is still back for several years. It is not limited to 2025. Here are the numbers.

From time to time, Schwverbent was sitting against the tough left sides, and he even left medicals on some nights. Now he is made up of each game. And he just doesn’t keep his left. He causes great harm to him. Schwarbent closed that hole in his game. As he entered the lab and went to work. In June last year, Philadelphia asked:

“Left hand corners, left-handed pieces, the more he could stand on the left, the easier it will be.” “Once my assistant was Pat Rouse. He literally pulled the carpenter every day, and he would say: So he did it every day. Any time when Leff had to throw a nuclear game for spring training, we clashed him.

“So, we just failed from each other after another, and he just got better and better.”

Schwarbent is still preparing preliminary preparations against the left, even when the rival of that night is right. It sounds clear, isn’t it? Go hit against a car against the cage that blends on the left. With the exception of these days pitting machines can show hits different arms, various pitch forms, etc. It’s not an old iron Mike machine transferred to the same place in the same place.

Currently, 32, Schwverbell and Philies deserve to improve something great loan, earlier in his career, and put it into force. He went to one player who left one of the southern procedures, for someone the phils wanted to a large place in the plate. Its power is huge, among the best in the game, and now usable against the left.

The singer cuts the left

I was among the skeptics when the reds reached the right hand Brady singer Jonathan in India, the trade with the Royals. The singer is a Perfect chromental Mid-Rotation Starter, although he had problems with his career and left remnants. The movement of Kauffman Stadium to the Homer-Happy Big American Ball Park seemed to be bad.

Three begins in his reds’ career, the singer has a 3,18 era in 17 seconds, and she has allowed three runs, and only one house runs in her new home. This includes throwing seven deadlocks against rangers in his home debut.

“He’s unpleasant. He stands.Through athletics) “He has received unpleasant items, and just adding such lands to his arsenal really helps.”

The singer threw 16 knives against Rangers, the first 16 knives she threw as a large league. He knocked 14 knives at his second at the beginning and at his third beginning. In general, he throws his new playing field 15% of the time. The field classifies a knife as an average best offer, but it is another tool in the shed, and the singer has been against early steps.

Little, little sample. Please don’t read this because “the singer has been clear to the left.” This is more “the singer throws her knife now, and it’s a new weapon, she can use against the left.” Perhaps it works long terms, and the singer takes the next step, or maybe it’s not the case, and she should return to the drawing board. However, the early return of the drastic is promising.

And really, the benefit of the cutter is not so much the quality of the playing field. This is because it allows it to blow its four sailing balls a little bit and dive, there are two pieces of crushed in the past. The knife is another look, and another blows of wrinkles must respect, and that means that the singer can throw the remnants of the speed. All that keeps the blows is positive.

When the new pitch makes it from the spring training and regular season, it is worth mentioning. Many pitchers are trying very new holes in March, but only a few opens the opening day. The singer’s knife cut off and is now the legal part of her arsenal at a 15% level of use. Credit to collect the loan to improve the singer and its game.

Stolen grounds continue to rise

Now that the season has been able to breathe slightly, the League House’s level of operation (1.07 HR / 9) was accommodated almost if lasted last three weeks (1.05 HR / 9). Averages to swim on the league on the balls of games .280. It was in three weeks last year .291. It means fewer singles, couples and triple.

Home functions are static, base hits are down. What is above, stolen grounds. This is the third year with more bases and bounds of pitchers, two rule, which encourage the stolen grounds and have had a desirable effect. League stole 2,486 bases in 2022, with the old rules. That number jumped in 2023 in 3,503 and 3,617 in 2024. Here are the numbers of 2025.

The interest rate on stolen basic experience is the number of stolen attempts on which is a base that is stolen, which is set as a run in the first or second, with the next base. In 2022, the League stole the League by 5.0% of the stolen basic opportunities in the last year. The rate of experience has a great time to jump with new rules.

Basic attempts at the beginning of this year are from the same point of the last two seasons from a full percentage point of 2024. – While the level of success has been more or less stable. The volume has increased without the effect of the effect. In fact, the teams understood that they could steal more than they have already been, so they stolen basic attempts.

Also look at the stolen experience level in the first three weeks compared to the whole season. The level of the full season experience in 2023 and 2024 was high than the first three weeks, which makes sense. It’s cold at the beginning of the season, often rainy, which means a soft intrusion that is not very good to run. When the weather warms, teams are going more. We could have the level of 8% experience in 2025.

Non-domestic base hits, stolen grounds are of great importance. If you can’t get that extra 90 feet on a single, you have to make them with your feet. The stolen grounds are from the most exciting plays in the game. The more Merrier is. Now, if the League can find more singles, couples and triaks, without sacrificing thefts, we would really be in business.
