You are a mad man for a 2.5 hour video

Ground ball rate up 20% as well.

Notably, his Pull% is way down. Thru May 1, it sat at 39.4%. After May 1 it sits at 19.7%.

He borderline looks uncomfortable delivering the pitches. I did see a couple bad ones but looks better generally

Yeah I’ve seen similar numbers. I’m not really sure if it’s had an impact, location seems to be more his issue than anything else. Still something they probably ought to work on.

Basically any slider you look at vs the sinker is going to look like this. Hopefully someone can tell me if this information is relevant but it looks like it is to me.

Granted I’m not an an expert in picking up this kind of stuff or spotting it from the batters box but I see a clear distinction.

When his arm is higher it is always a slider/sweeper. Lower it is either a fastball or change.

Looking at his statcast numbers early this year, I’d imagine it’s at least possible by the end of the season

Yeah he doesn’t need to be a good hitter to be a good major league player. I’d imagine close to a 4 win player with league average offensive output.

For sure but why is that. I’d think that these stats should be able to account for that. Hence why I ask @mikepetriello.bsky.social, he’s the statcast guy
