Jake Bauers Slashing .369/.481/.585 Across 19-Game On-Base Streak for Brewers
Per Adam McCalvy, Bauers has posted a .369/.481/.585 line with 11 RBI and 15 walks against 12 strikeouts over the stretch.
Jake Bauers has reached base in each of his last 19 games for Milwaukee, and the numbers behind the streak are worth a closer look.
Per Brewers beat reporter Adam McCalvy, Bauers is slashing .369/.481/.585 across that span, with 11 RBIs and — the detail that tends to separate a hot stretch from a disciplined one — 15 walks against only 12 strikeouts.
A walk total that exceeds the strikeout total over any meaningful stretch is the kind of plate-discipline marker that suggests the contact isn't purely luck-driven. Whether it holds is a separate question the material doesn't answer.
What to watch
The Brewers' infield picture has been in motion around him. Milwaukee reportedly acquired infielder Jonathan Ornelas via trade and Ornelas made his first MLB start, per earlier reporting. Brice Turang, meanwhile, has been working back from a knee injury and targeting a return to the lineup. How that infield sorts itself out could affect Bauers' role going forward — though nothing in the current reporting specifies any change to his playing time.
