The Milwaukee Breweries I’ve seen several different players have great streaks at the plate this year. William Contreras has been playing consistently throughout the season, but outside of him, Blake Perkins has had a great stretch early in the game, Joey Ortiz has been one of the best hitters in baseball over the last three weeks, and Jake Bauers has also performed well during May as well.
For Bauers, he was starting to hot up at the plate before Rhys Hoskins suffered a hamstring injury. Hoskins is expected to be sidelined for the next few weeks. Bauers is making the most of his playing time and is reported to be having success with Christian Yelich’s finger-pick.
Christian Yelich helped teach Jake Bauers how to finger tap.
Per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Christian Yelich played the role of hitting coach for Jake Bauers this year and helped him take a toe hit. Yelich started playing full-time at the same time last year and found success. Bauers also sees benefits from this.
Yelich, 32, recently helped Jake Bauers take a toe hit, helping the first baseman/outfielder turn his season around.

For the New York Yankees, Jake Bauers made a subtle kick to the leg.
2024 is Bauers’ first season in Milwaukee, as he was acquired in an offseason trade. As a member of the Yankees, Bauers used a leg kick to the plate. His leg kick wasn’t drastically high, but his lead leg stayed in the air for the immense majority of the swing.
Jake Bauers is a successful toe hitter and is one of the hottest prospects for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Prior to Saturday, May 18, Jake Bauers was hitting .341/.471/.707/1.178 with four home runs and 15 RBI in his previous 15 games. He recently hit a grand slam using a toe shot he learned from Christian Yelich. On the season, Bauers currently has an .800 OPS in 104 plate appearances.
