"Munetaka Murakami is the first player since at least 1900 with five or more home runs and 20+ walks in his first 22 career games," Langs wrote on X. "He’s just the ninth player in that span with 20+ walks in his first 22 [games] and one of two in the last 70 years (1995 Quilvio Veras)."

There's a name from the past lol.

Murakami looks like one of the better sluggers in all of baseball. He has a .918 OPS and .376 on-base percentage, despite a .209 batting average. That's pretty wild. It shows that he sees the zone well and and while he is prone to whiff, when he connects, it goes a long way. Plus, he's not swinging out of the strike zone.

He has one of the prettiest swings and we all saw it right away in spring training. When he misses it's usually because he was fooled, not because he had a bad swing path.

Would one describe it as a "clean-ass swing?"
