Yandy Diaz' BABIP for his career is .320. Last year it was .367. While batters exercise a larger degree of control over their BABIPs than pitchers, there is still a lot of noise (i.e. luck) in the data. This year his BABIP is down about 90 points compared to last. I would bet that's about equal parts not hitting the ball as well, and not having the balls he does hit fall in. -

Sure. But isn't that like saying a player pitched 85 innings of relief with a 3.00 ERA one year, then the next year he pitched 220 innings as a starter with a 3.00 ERA. I wouldn't say that was a consistent, expected performance. -

The Os can’t have a zero in the pen right now. You either trust Veiria or he needs to go. -

If John Thorn says something about baseball history is true, who am I to disagree? I know some stuff about baseball history, Thorn knows pretty much all the stuff and has written multiple excellent books about it, and was anointed the official historian of MLB. -

Do you know that it was a completely different quality of pitching and hitting? Again, I need to read the darned book, but there is a very well researched SABR publication entitled "The Negro Leagues are Major Leagues". Until I read that, my position remains that if we're going to count the Federal League, and the AL/NL during wars, and the Union Association, and the early days of the American Association and all that as "Major" and all their records count, then it's hard to argue against the Negro Leagues getting the same treatment. And yes, that same argument can be applied to at least the NPB, and probably other foreign leagues, too. And many years of high level independent minor leagues like the 1920s IL, and several different periods of the PCL. -
