This scatter plot compares slugging percentage (SLG) to batting average (BA) for the 2024 St. Louis Cardinals hitters. Each dot represents a player, sized by WAR and colored by age. The positive trendlines show that higher SLG generally corresponds with higher BA, though outliers like Nolan Gorman and Luken Baker highlight players with strong power but lower contact ability. On the other hand, Brendan Donovan and Masyn Winn demonstrate balanced contributions in both contact and power. This visual helps distinguish pure contact hitters, power hitters, and those who excel at both.
