The Trey Mancini can really hit thread

So a BP guy did a deep dive, watched a bunch of video on Savant, and his conclusion is that, after the mechanical adjustments he has made to get his launch angle up a bit, now he looks like Mike Trout.

I don't think I realized last year how MUCH he had the Yandy Diaz groundball problem, with all the same flaws and upside if hitters that strong can make even small adjustments to their launch angle profiles.

Great stuff, thanks. Perhaps worthy of its own thread.

When comparing Mancini and Reimold. I believe Reimold was definitely more athletic but I believe Mancini to be the smartest of the two with the higher baseball IQ.

This is great news if he can keep it up. The groundball rate was the largest factor in limiting his offensive ceiling. If he can maintain a high flyball rate and keep his hit tool intact, this changes everything.

And if he can keep turning grounders to the left into hits, he’ll be really good!
