Bo Bichette, the New York Mets shortstop, has been noted for having an unusual swing that does not align with the ideal metrics set by MLB's Statcast. According to the 'Ideal Attack Angle' statistic, which measures the optimal angle for a bat to make contact with the ball, Bichette has consistently ranked poorly. Last season, he achieved this angle only 32.8% of the time, placing him third-worst in the league. This season, he has further declined to just 23.9%, making him second-worst in MLB. Despite these statistics, Bichette has proven to be an effective hitter, having led the American League in hits multiple times. However, his swing issues indicate that he may not develop into a home run hitter, as many of his peers achieve the Ideal Attack Angle more than double his rate. Bichette's situation raises questions about how he can optimize his swing for better performance.
