it's simply him and as you said the plate discipline and the chase rate but specifically against left-handed pitching because last year this man hit 188 that's sub 200 against left-handed pitching now his splits are nearly identical when it comes to batting average he actually has a higher on base percentage against lefties than he does against righties and if you're going to have an over 800 ops against lefties as pete crowe armstrong

Yep.

Craig Council has learned his lesson through the eyes of Michael Bush, because if you look at what he's doing against lefties this season, now that he's been allowed to play, he's doing the job.
He's hitting .244 against lefties, .249 against righties, and he's got slightly less power, but the on-base percentage is within six points of each other.

Maybe.
It's literally giving me flashbacks to the playoffs.
Yeah.
