...but isn't an O-SW% of 32 much higher than league average? I mean people used to make fun of Vlad Guerrero for swinging at 42% of pitches outside the zone and we were concerned when Gutierrez' O-SW% increased to 28%.
Yet, visually, he does appear to be very calmly patient up there. Which goes counter to the O-Swing.
I'm not sure I would call Trayvon a pitch stalker yet...but I would say he can wait on his pitch more than most because he has lightning quick hands. I think the resolution to this confusion for me is that he is patient physically, but not mentally. He can wait on a pitch even if he intends to swing...but he intends to swing more often than he should. That is just my take on it.
