Dominic Smith of the Atlanta Braves has impressed this season, maintaining a rolling 100-PA xwOBA above league average since April, peaking at .370 wOBA and .378 xwOBA. Despite a high chase rate and low walk numbers, he excels against four-seamers with a remarkable .560 xwOBA. His approach includes a shorter swing and a focus on fastballs, while pitchers continue to challenge him with pitches in the zone. As May progresses, Smith’s impressive performance suggests he may sustain this success.
