2024: Trea Turner's improved selectivity at the plate leads to .350 batting average, thanks to reduced pitch chasing.

Trea Turner's batting success in 2024 is attributed to reduced pitch chasing, with his chase rate down from a career-high 35.3% in 2023. This change has led to a .350 batting average in the first 20 games of the season, with an increased zone contact percentage and lowered swinging strike rate. Phillies manager Rob Thomson credits Turner's improved selectivity at the plate for these results.
