“Hitters don’t hit his fastball.” In his brief outing in the 2015 MLB All-Star Game, that was all the announcers could talk about. The velocity, the extension, the rising effect.

Opening Day is baseball fan’s Christmas. Anything is possible. You get the first glimpse at teams and players not knowing what lies ahead. For at least one day a year, every team can trick themselves into thinking they are championship contenders. It is tempting to jump on early season stats as indicators. In DJ Lemahieu’s...

The Milwaukee Brewers had an offseason that many throughout the game probably just glossed over, looking at teams like the San Diego Padres, New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays as teams that made the types of improvements that'll vault them into a new tier. What if I told you that the Brewers actually had... Continue Reading →

This winter, the Mets made it a priority to upgrade their bullpen. Although the production of the bullpen was adequate last season, the need for another impact backend arm was evident, even moreso when the team recently announced that Seth Lugo would miss the start of the campaign recovering from right elbow surgery.

Slow starters still have the opportunity to right the ship, while those outperforming expectations have to prove they can sustain that production long-term. Nothing is yet set in stone. Still, we now have a few weeks of data to supplement our preseason expectations;... Continue Reading →
Looking solely at baseball savant metrics that predict pitching outcomes, you would guess that these two pitchers are pretty similar. In reality, these two pitchers could not be more different. Brusdar Graterol (Pitcher A) and Alex Claudio (Pitcher B) had very similar 2020 seasons on paper, but on the mound they are quite different. First... Continue Reading →
