Each of the last two years the league average for total runners left on base was 1087. In 2021 the Blue Jays left 1056 on base, this past year it was 1111. So for a team that finished 5th and 3rd on OPS the 1056 number was really good and last years is not bad when you consider that the team was 5th and 3rd in On Base Percentage these past two years meaning that they have more guys on base than league average.

For every slap base hit you might see every 15 at bats with a changed approach you miss out on that extra home run every 25 at bats by not changing the approach type of thing. So over 75 at bats no change gets you 8 runs vs the change getting you 7. So I think it's more analytics driving hitters to be consistent in every at bat in approach.
