I think it's good, and cool, and very great that teams are being a little looser with their prospects to get better right now .. .. and also I don't like the Mets trading Pete Crow Armstrong for Baez.

🚨Big news from the Statcast factory🚨 New release on Baseball Savant: ⚾Swing Path ⚾Attack Angle ⚾Ideal Attack Angle ⚾Attack Direction It's all here: baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/ba… Let's 🧵 what all this is and means:

Shohei Ohtani's swing vs. Aaron Judge's Statcast swing path, attack angle and attack direction are on Baseball Savant now ➡️ baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/ba… 🏌️‍♂️

This can also be explained for the decision to put in Tim Mayza to turn around Carlos Santana in WC GM 2 For the data we have on bat speed for Santana (2nd half of 2023) LH attack angle: 13 degrees RH attack angle: 6 degrees Combined with Mayza’s sinker, you can see the logic

Wrote about Corbin Carroll and how he fixed his swing after 2024's disappointing first half. "I was too flat," he said. Well, now we can show exactly what that means. --> mlb.com/dbacks/news/ho…

See, the original post was wrong. (It was 5, not 89.) Not bad faith wrong, just regular wrong. And now this tool is going to internalize that as right and push it out. It's a bad place.

Wrote about Jackson Holliday, who's been like a top-50 hitter in the month since his dad helped him w his mechanics, & how we can see that he went from *the most opposite-field attack direction* in baseball to something a little more production-oriented mlb.com/orioles/news/j…

Wrote about Aaron Judge, but not the homers About the BABIP that's by far the highest ever How he has the highest GB BA too, bc he hits it so hard And the way he makes his own hitting luck by making outfielders play deeper than anyone mlb.com/yankees/news/a…

This was amazing work by Mike. And it's not just the eye-opening numbers. The inside-the-game look at how Judge affects outfield positioning and even overmatches big-league infields is incredible.
