What happened: Alex Bregman hit .322 with a .394 on-base percentage and .644 slugging percentage during the stretch. A minor adjustment helped drive the turnaround.
Why it matters: The power spike shows the improvement extends beyond batting average. Sustaining that production would strengthen his impact during the regular-season stretch run.
By the numbers: Bregman averaged 0.79 extra-base hits per game and posted a .322 isolated-power mark over the 14-game span.
What to watch: The next test is whether the adjustment holds as the sample expands.
