This is great because you can see Moniak briefly disappear here as he flopped into (and then out of) the stands

You can see which of today's Spring Breakout games will be played in Statcast parks here: baseballsavant.mlb.com/gamefeed?date=… Many will! Just remember so many of these P are brand new to the system, so if real-time pitch tagging is iffy, know it'll be cleaned up

busy day!! you can get your Spring Breakout Statcast fix here: atmlb.com/4ab0YRm

A new treat! At Baseball Savant. Minor League Statcast search is live. --> baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast-searc… I wrote a lot about comparing MLB and MiLB performance levels here: --> mlb.com/news/minor-lea…

Minor League Statcast search is complete for AAA/2023, partial AAA/2022, and Statcast-enabled Single-A from 2021-23. It's not 100% of everything, but it is nearly 2 million pitches, and that's a lot. --> baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast-searc…

So if you want to see things like "hey, did the Yankees AAA team throw the highest rate of their sliders with more than 12 inches of break," hoo boy yes they did --> baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast-searc…

(On those pitch types: If you followed live data last summer and found the automated results janky, yes, they were. A ton of work has been put into cleaning them up, thanks @alexfast8. Hit us up or MLBPitchClass with any questions on that.) --> baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast-searc…

So Minor League hard-hit leaders, among tracked batted balls? Here --> bit.ly/4acPk8A

Is it interesting that the Chicago Cubs are dead last in MLB in rate of 4sm/sinker thrown 95MPH+ ... and the Iowa Cubs are *first* in AAA? I think so. --> baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast-searc…

Do you just want to see what kind of pitches Ricky Tiedemann threw at A or AAA last year? You can do that. --> baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast-searc…

Is it cool to know how much more velo there is at the big league level? I think so. --> mlb.com/news/minor-lea…

Big huge props to Abi on his first big release, and Dana Bennett and Tangotiger 🍁 and Jason Bernard and David Adler and Alex Fast and the whole gang for the work on this. Go, have fun: baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast-searc…
