He still throws 99. He’s not dead.
I think he would struggle against AA pitching at this point in his career. He would succeed in A ball only because he would have a super high...
Crane can sure pick ‘em.
That's interesting and I didn't know that about Bagwell. Looking at his old minor league stats, seems he played one season in A ball in '89 and a...
This is an interesting point that I think highlights how our own intuition leads us astray at times. Particularly, as I understand it, this seems...
He doesn't strike out more now though because he's swinging less at borderline pitches in two strike counts. He strikes out more now because, at...
I don’t see the conventional approach as being subject to less variance. Indeed, I would think injecting the fielding element would add even more...
Basically, I think Altuve is the poster boy for the analytics movement of his day. He is the example everyone should point to of why a more...
We are several weeks into the season and Jake Meyers is 4th on the team in expected wOBA. Maybe make him a starter, Espada?
How do the analytics skeptic crowd like Bagwell et al square Altuve in their minds? He went from being a AAAA player to a Hall of Famer by...
Ronel Blanco has the second lowest expected wOBA in baseball with min 250 pitches thrown. That group includes Tyler Glasnow.
His projections had him in the mid to upper to 20s in the majors entering this season which is reasonable and matches his SwStr this season in...
I see Loperfido’s K rate in the mid-20s once he settles down. I think the big question for him is how often can he lift the ball as he tends to...
I don’t see them as similar hitters at all. Gallo had a 22% SwStr in his age 25 season in AAA which is like double Loperfido’s. He also has much...
I didn’t know Loperfido could do 114 mph. Seems his raw power is beyond question now.
I think this is a fluke based off of his SwStr rate unless he’s watching a ton of strikes (doesn’t seem that way). He seems more like a 25-30 K%...
Am I mistaken or didn’t Loperfido do something similar to begin last season?
His SwStr is like 10%. His K rate will come down.
Looking at Savant, I’m even more impressed. Will be interesting to see his AAA Stuff+ if that becomes available as he doesn’t generate a lot of...
Welcome to Houston, AJ.
