Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Jake Bauers is experiencing a torrid stretch with the Milwaukee Brewers in May 2026. He's on a 9-game hitting streak (one game short of career-high 10-game streak) and batting .438 (14 for 32) with 2 homers and 8 RBIs during this stretch. Overall season stats show .258 BA with 6 homers, 21 RBI, 23 runs, and 3 SB across 34 games. He's reached base in 14 consecutive games. Recently homered and drove in 4 runs against the Cubs. Has made mechanical adjustments this season with improved contact point and approach, focusing on seeing the ball with a clear mind rather than overthinking mechanics. Lowest strikeout rate of his career at 21.9%. However, facing reduced playing time against left-handed pitchers due to recent returns of Andrew Vaughn and Jackson Chourio from injured list.
