Milwaukee Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers are currently 10th in the offensive category with a .727 team batting average. They're also averaging 4.5 runs per game. One of the reasons they're doing so well is the consistent production of first basemen Rowdy Tellez, who has a .803 on-base percentage and 24 home runs. In the last 15 games, Tellez has been on a tear with seven RBI and a .267 slash line.
According to Aaron Ashby's Baseball Savant page, he's currently in the 82nd percentile regarding whiff percentage.

However, he has had a tough time in the last 30 games, as he has a .188 batting average, .269 slash line, and a 6:33 walk-to-strikeout percentage.
On his Baseball Savant page, Keegan Thompson has struggled this season, as he is currently in the 23rd percentile. He has a 37.9 sweet spot percentage and struggles to locate his breaking ball.
