My point was an overly uppercut swing isn't going to result in that low a launch angle. Not unless he is somehow consistently topping the pitches, which seems pretty unlikely.
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.

Statcast also said Adley's exit velocity on a ball he ripped to left field last night in Game 2 was only 70 something MPH. Even @Frobby called BS on that.
It’s a known that teams don’t completely trust other teams systems. There is no regulation.

I think the Statcast data is way more reliable than the eye test it replaced.
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.

Am I looking at this data wrong?
Statcast shows Jackson's Launch angle to be 4.4 degrees.
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.

Would that really affect whether or not he’s worth $20 million next season?
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.

Gunnar is must watch. In the field and in the box. Glad he’s an Oriole.

Time for Tony to do his thing.

Thrown off by the deflection?
I thoughts that at first. But rewatched and it was a little hump back liner.

Rewatched. He didn’t get it as well as I thought.

Rare Holliday AB vs LHP
Needs more, apparently. That was his best struck ball.

Holy cow. Matt Moore is still pitching.

He had no clue where it was going. Honestly, I’m surprised/impressed he made it to the 5th.
@Sports Guy what’s confusing about this? He missed his spots by feet not inches and looked like he’d be knocked out after 2ip. Sure, he threw a lot of strikes but the command was abysmal. Going 4.1 with his stuff tonight was an accomplishment. Not something to be proud of, but an accomplishment nonetheless.

Too many poorly located pitches though.

Shout out to Roy lol. @Roy Firestone text Kevin Brown and tell him to work “meow” into broadcast as many times as possible in next inning.

Yep, never tires to do too much. He probably sacrifices a bit of power but he is so consistent. I will take it!
Looks at difference between him & Santander(now) after swing. O’Hearn is perfectly balanced vs. Santander falling forward after swing. Balance & timing. Only two things that matter.
-
O’Hearn is friggin’ impressive . So balanced and on time. His posture through swing and balance after is top level.

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.
