This is very interesting for those that like this sort of thing.
The Brewers are the only team in the league that does NOT have a pull-side bat orientation.
Some teams are more exaggerated than others. But the Brewers are very exagerated to opposite field.
For example:
This isn’t all of it, but any time the other 29 teams are doing one thing and you’re doing a different thing – and succeeding at it, we’re not talking about the recent history of the Colorado Rockies here – it’s worth highlighting.
Every single team in baseball has a pull-side bat orientation, or attack direction, which shows the horizontal approach of the bat at the closest point to the ball. Pull is where you find power. Every team has some pull.
Every team, that is, except for the Brewers.
and:
No regular Brewer has an above-average pulled-air rate. Not one. Only a single Brewer, Gary Sánchez, has even a league-average pulled-air rate, and even he, at 18 percent, is down massively from the 27 percent he ran as an Oriole last year.

Solid article. Clearly they work on that. Sanchez used to ONLY pull the ball back in his yankee days, or strike out lol. Now that his pull rate has even decreased to the point that it has really says something about their organization and the way in which they view the game from the front office. They don't go out and spend the big money, instead trading guys like Peralta and losing Burnes, but they just get guys that fit their system. And you have to think a big part of that is Pat Murphy. No WS in over 40 years so they are very due but more than that, they are in rhythm and have been for some years now.
