I guess we will see how or plays out. I havnt liked what I’ve seen.
-
It’s looked like smoke and mirrors to me.
-
Nah. His velo has been down. He’s been missing spots by feet not inches. Has been behind in count and been bailed out. Has gotten lucky repeatedly. It hasn’t been pretty.
-
McKenna is awful. He does nothing well and he’s an airhead prone to f ups. It’s absurd he has a MLB roster spot.

1:2 is good. Elite is a player like Arraez who is 1+:1.

I think you have a good understanding and I assume you’ve read Ted Williams Science of Hitting. It’s all about lining up planes of pitch and bat. Historically with sinkers and low strikes a higher attack angle played and was more in alignment with pitch plane. In today’s game of spin and high zone fastball an uppercut swing gives you minimal chance and results in top spin grounders and swing & miss.
-
Actually it will. As you noted. MLB pitch plane is like 2-3 degrees. The more your attack angle increased the more you’re hitting a top spin tennis return.

It’s a known that teams don’t completely trust other teams systems. There is no regulation.

There are issue with readings, just like everything else in life. It’s not perfect. I’ve seen thousands of balls put in play using tech and can tell you that flat out there are mistakes. Maintenance, calibration, location of hardware all in play.

There’s a big difference between launch angle and attack angle. Launch angle is ball coming off bat (results of contact). Attack angle is angle of bat through zone. 4.4 attack angle is good but slightly high. 4.4 launch angle is terrible result.

Hopefully Jackson reads this thread so he can figure things out. He really needs to immediately abandon what’s been successful for him.
-
I’d like the pick so I’m hoping he goes off, we offer, and he rejects. He was worth 24 MM last year and 18.5MM in 2022. So, technically, he should be worth right about 20 MM next year(depending on performance). I’d also wager he’d be more productive than Norby, Stowers, & Kjerstad.
-
I’ve been super skeptical. I’ve also been pretty impressed so far. He sure doesn’t get rattled. Hasn’t been pretty but he’s gotten the job done. Nice to see the uptick in velo.

This thread is a going to be super funny shortly after Santander goes on a heater.
