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?

No one. They will go to a 6 man rotation and keep Burned on a regular schedule. Means, Bradiah, and GRod can use the extra day to help manage their workload.

Not gonna dig in over this. I enjoy the Apple broadcast.

Makes MASN look like middle school student government run media.

Cano gold glove (and gold chains jinglin’) let’s go!!!!!

Cano has the Mr. T start up kit going. 3 or 4 more chains and he will be there. LFG.

I’m down.

101+ and a splitty with same arm action at 91 with 2’ of downward movement. Flat out unfair

The stuff is insane

I don’t know who this pitcher is but he is flipping ridiculous

It was kinda close, but true - no doubt he was going. Especially in that situation, you have to force the D to make a play.

I mean. It should have been close. The OF cut the ball off. You just knew he was going and there’d be a play and wow, just wow. 9 times out of 10 runner is hosed. To your point, the speed caught them off guard and caused an unforced error.
