McCann squeeze.

Omfg

Sike.

Tony gonna go yard.

Nah. They’d be done talking about it. But they are gonna win.

Interesting. Never knew you had to keep going. I thought it was automatically called.

Precisely. Which is why it was unacceptable.

Ump is brutal

It’s a challenge to do unless your parents are from another country and have family there. I’ve seen a few kids do this with families form DR. For someone with no ties to another country it would be super difficult and a pretty massive gamble.

Pretty unacceptable not to know that ball would move left to right with a RH batter up. Terrible route.

Santander with yee Olde banana route.

Hawk eye. Lol

Dang. Mateo should have deeked that the ball went into the OF.

Pretty awesome interview.

Did a Bradish get some new tats?

No doubt. It's been available to any recruiters or scouts through PG for close to 6 years now. Just go to the site and look through rankings of any player that's been in a showcase or played in a PG event. The better orgs have been using this data for at least 7+ years and likely a lot longer. Diamond Kinetics was founded in 2013 and I imagine progressive teams were using the tech shortly there after. There is a direct correlation between bat speed and xwOBACON. It's not the end all be all, but it's ~40% of the equation (ability to square up balls "smash factor" and swing decisions being the other two components to hitting).

Remember this guy?

Why? In 9 starts he’s only given up 3 ERs twice. He’s been darn good. Seems pretty easy to imagine him mowing down just about anyone he faces.

Gunnar is OPSing .113 points higher v. LHP than RHP this year. He’s one of the best hitters in the game, a potential MVP and will be rightfully batting lead-off everyday he plays this year.

Mullins hit the ball 100mph. If it’s 10’ to the left or right the game is tied.

That sammy looks delicious.

This is how I imagine Kyle Stowers spends his time in the off-season:

Holliday had a position. HK does not have a spot on the team unless someone is injured. Who should they benched to give HK every day ABs? Santander, O'Hearn, Cowser?

Were you aware that he’s from NOVA and grew up as an Orioles fan?
