From Zack Meisel in The Athletic:
Kwan ranked 18th in the majors in pitches seen and 15th in pitches per plate appearance. He had the lowest first-pitch swing percentage in the majors at 8.9 percent; Jesús Aguilar recorded the second-lowest mark, at 13.6 percent. The league-average rate was 30.9 percent.
Kwan ranked second in the majors in contact percentage and sported the second-best swinging strike rate. It’s clear what his strengths are: making contact and plate discipline. He did have the highest percentage of strikes looking and the second-lowest rate of pitches swung at, two indications that he could stand to be a bit more assertive in the batter’s box. More than one-third of his strikeouts were of the looking variety, the fifth-highest rate in the league.
Kwan plans on being more aggressive this year.
"I know I’ll feel a lot more comfortable this year in those counts. Early in the year, I wanted to be in that role of, ‘Ooh, this guy sees a bunch of pitches. He helps his team out.’ I totally abandoned, ‘I’m still a hitter.’ I think I can play into that role more and understand the situations, but still go for my chances.”
