OC has had a lot of success the past three seasons swinging at the first pitch
He didn’t do it that often (~15-20% of his PAs) but OPSed well over .900. I’ve noticed that he’s taken a lot of really good first pitches (two this evening) this season and swung at some not so good ones. It’s of course a small sample and he’s batting leadoff now, but he’s only 3-23 on the first pitch to start this season and OPSing .260.
