Today I learned that Heriberto Hernández doesn't just hammer the ball, he also makes very good swing decisions. No. 4 among qualified hitters in @notthebobbyorr.bsky.social's SEAGER.
the “throw slop right down the dick” strategy vs Juan Soto is not working, surprisingly
Been working on some stuff: - Radar plots for comparing players via percentile ranks in each stat - a custom dates aggregation tab in the gamelogs - pitch comps can be compared across groups (so you’ll see Cris Sánchez’s CH returning RHP SW comps for ex)
Some news for those of you that use my app: I’m rolling out an improved version with a ton of new features, including splits, customizable hitter & pitcher comps, plots on each page, updated SEAGER/damage/pitch models, sample size adjustments, and more. py-players.streamlit.app

Big drop today: - The Pitch Comps page is live, with every field from the Shapes and Outcomes page available to form comparisons - There’s splits for both Team Hitting and Team Pitching now, the same as appear for Individual Hitters and Pitchers (1/2)

Brother in law just asked me “who the fuck is Andy Ibañez” and I’ve never been more ready to answer a question in my life
I love when people say that measuring something is ‘analytics’ (derogatory) or a ‘bad stat’. Things exist regardless of if we measure them or not; we’re just observing them now. Didn’t realize you were so into quantum mechanics bro
I have discussed Eric Wagaman approximately once every other month with @notthebobbyorr.bsky.social for several years, big day for me personally
Nobody remembers when it started. There’s rumors of a time the Phillies had more runs than their opponents, but those are only ever whispered in hushed, hurried tones; the city elders have jailed men for less. All there is now is The Streak. All there ever can be is The Streak.
A few updates: -hitter/pitcher/team gamelogs sortable by date & player -pctile pages that recalculate based on a threshold you choose (i.e. 50 BBE, PA, etc.) -an Execution Grade based on locations + tunnel metrics specific to a pitcher to grade how well he’s using his stuff

That was the most Braves™️ inning since the last time they were a competent baseball team about 2 years ago
I think these WNBA teams started their draft prep last week
for his entire career, Jose Altuve has had to fight off an unfairly high strike zone. Until the ABS zone redefinition, that is. On the smallest hitter in the majors suddenly finding himself in a fair fight up in the zone @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

One of the league's smallest players is perhaps the biggest beneficiary of the implementation of the ABS system.

fun fact: Dub Gleed was the name George Lucas was going to use before Jar Jar Binks
Trade summary: Marlins get - Leo Jiménez Blue Jays get - Dub Gleed, cash
it’s important to remember the rules for opening day reactions. If it: - confirms something you already thought, it’ll last all year; you have the gift of foresight - makes you look bad, then it’s just one day in a long season; it’s a marathon, not a sprint
The Ben Rice helium has deflated. It shouldn’t. Cags hits the ball as hard as Kurtz in the air—but not often enough—with better contact skills. Is he a Kurtz/Yandy mashup? With assists from @notthebobbyorr.bsky.social’s awesome new app: open.substack.com/pub/michaelc...

now includes minor league pitcher equivalencies and folds those into the Pitcher Comps page the same way
fun new update: I added a page for MLB equivalencies that translates stats from the minor leagues to MLB, and those outputs can be used to look at your favorite minor leaguers on the Hitter Comps page:

Realized it wasn’t accessing the MiLB data I had compiled and fixed that. Should have all the statcast from the minors available in the stats/auto-regressed/splits pages now too
