Brandon Lowe, One Of Baseball’s Streakiest Players, Is On A Hot One

Be advised, everyone else – Brandon Lowe is on a heater.

Every hitter in the MLB is streaky. It is a strange sport in that, for all the importance any single at-bat can have – or indeed, any individual pitch within said at-bat – the best way of assessing a player’s abilities in such scenarios is to use sample sizes of hundreds of plate appearances and thousands of pitches. Failure is built into the fabric of the game; even good major league hitters only succeed roughly a third of the time.
