Bryson Stott is taking a new approach to his baseball game, and it's paying off. After a midseason swing adjustment, Stott is now thinking about something else: letting his swing flow naturally and using the entire field. This change has him excited for the 2026 season, and it's all about finding the right balance.
Stott explains that last year, he was too focused on hitting the ball to left field, sometimes missing pitches he should have pulled. So, he worked on his mindset and swing, aiming to pull everything and get on the plate more. This adjustment has led to impressive results, with Stott batting .307 and an .885 OPS in the second half of the season.
But it's not just about the swing. Stott also lowered his hands after the All-Star break, which helped his swing flow naturally. He moved closer to the plate and focused on his approach, rather than worrying about his hands hitting his helmet. This change has allowed him to hit the ball out front more frequently, increasing his bat speed.
Stott's new approach is all about letting the ball dictate where it's going to go, rather than trying to guide it. He's finding that balance between pulling the ball and using the entire field, and it's working. With this mindset, Stott is ready to take on the 2026 season, and he's excited to see what the future holds.
