I think Linds plate discipline will continue to improve, as it is, he averages 4.04 pitches per at bat, so he’s not necessarily a free swinger.  I think that once pitchers start to respect Linds abilities his BB rate will go up.

Lind certainly is not a free swinger, swinging at 44% percent of his pitches seen this year which is a little less than average. He’s double his walk rate this year to league-average 9.0% so overall you could classify him as having about average plate discipline.

His high .327 BABIP (not necessarily lucky)and high Hr/Fb rate are what allow him to hit .300. Speaking of Hr/Fb percentages, Lind’s has shot up 1.5% tonight to 21.5% with his three home runs!

Great timing on Lind. Three homers last night. He beat the Sox singlehandedly.

Thanks Mike, I love when players make me look good wink Unfortunately Lind had to get hit by a pitch in the elbow in his final at bat last night so he is not available to power my fantasy team tonight… I hate Jonathan Papelbon for it.
