Yeah there’s just such a gap in volume that makes the incentive to post here hard (though it all goes hand-in-hand)
March 28, 2025 at 10:53 PM
wait you’re telling me almost everyone who played yesterday is off today?

Read them or don't, I can't tell you what to do but wanted to plug my work before the season kicks off today

Finally, I wrote about lineup strength and what helps lineups produce runs (and is it ok to have holes).

This might've gotten me excommunicated from Pitcher List, but Yamamoto's low fastball is here to stay and I discussed why that can still be a good thing

Did some more research-heavy articles too: what drives home run rate for pitchers and looking at the issue on a pitch level.

What Causes a Home Run Problem? | Pitcher List
Home runs have always been a fickle stat when it comes to pitchers, as it's often a matter of luck and not skill, so what drives HR/9?

I had fun writing about Zebby Matthews's ascension last year and how he succeeds this year once he cracks the Twins rotation

Took a look at Juan Soto's approach and contrasted it with Lars Nootbaar and Wyatt Langford. It's not easy to be the best.

If we could see ANY signs of life from Arenado about getting back to pull power and health, I think we could be in for a good season that maybe ends in a trade. He still has 25 HR potential and we'll see what Brant Brown has in store for the veteran

Projections systems are all over the place for Arenado in 2025 and rightfully so, we have no idea what were getting regardless of trade status.

A 107 almost assuredly gets him traded and an 89 potentially sees him losing his starting role.
