The White Sox have always emphasized being aggressive. And aggressive in their mind means hacking away at borderline pitches. That’s why they constantly rank among the league’s worst in O-swing%e despite bringing in countless new players from different organizations.
They also always preach going the other way which is a fool‘s errand in the modern game.
The players witht the best offensive numbers are patient hitters who pull the ball when it‘s in a hittable location.
These two approaches combined are the reason the Sox do not hit home runs at an acceptable rate and will struggle to consistently score runs
