One of my favorite graphics & I had to make sure article wasn’t half bad either.
Stop pitching to Aaron Judge!!
I also want to mention @benclemens.bsky.social’s piece on the same topic from today too (blogs.fangraphs.com/when-should-...). Covers the IBBs much better than I do.

This is awesome, thank you Kyle for everything behind Process+ as I was simply the man to put pen to paper (or hand to keyboard, I’m not sure).

MLB teams' increasing reliance on their bullpens is a manifestation of optimized pitching strategy. Starters' performance wanes as their pitch counts rise and batters get multiple looks at them. Relievers keep getting nastier every year. It's just smart baseball.
But what if it's not?

Spencer Schwellenbach is one of the most popular breakout picks for 2025. The #Braves SP posted a 3.35 ERA in 124 IP last year, and most projections systems like him in 2025.
He is the only pitcher (min 100 IP) to have 6 pitches with a 98 Stuff+ or more; there's no weak link.

Are you a #STLCards fan preparing to watch Nolan Arenado take the field with the birds on the bat across his chest until at least July 31st?
Are you also a Cardinal fan who would like to see him play well enough to get traded?

I thought everyone told me there was no parity in baseball
The average division winning odds of each top-rated team has dropped a lot! 2018 was wild.

Another #STLCards hitter who is fascinating for 2025 is Alec Burleson. After a solid .269/.319/.420 & 21 HR season, there are mixed expectations on how much of an impact he'll have.
Projections systems disagree on his outlook this season, but I like his niche archetype in '25 🧵

Even though the D-backs acquired Josh Naylor, is Pavin Smith one of the most underrated 1B in the player pool?
130 Process+ and 9 HR in 150ish PA last year, where he made big strides in discipline and contact profile last year.
405 ADP right now with 500ish PA projected by BP
