I’m at the Billy strings show and Les claypool showed up but I’m watching a replay of a ball hitting the roof in milwaukee
Swing comp: Chase DeLauter and Trent Grisham. Both flat, similarly open, similar bat speed, two handed finishes. Nobody likes their swings. Effective enough though?
On that play that saves every no-hitter, Jake Bauers, the Brewers defense, findings from research on Stuff+, and what that all means for Jacob Misiorowski's elite hit suppression this year www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...
Why Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski might be even more dominant than we thought

"Why doesn't he get whiffs if he has good Stuff?" Current models can be opaque in how they get to their conclusions. To combat this, we have developed a process to illustrate how and why a player's pitches are good/bad/neutral, based on our models. (1/8)

Since the MLB playoffs expanded, we haven't seen nearly as many climactic Game 3s in the Wild Card round as fans have hoped — 11 out of 16 series ended in 2-0 sweeps. A couple years ago I broke down the math to explain why sweeps are, in fact, mathematically more likely than going three games.
Why Do Most Wild Card Series End in Sweeps?
A simple mathematical explanation for why we don't see more Game Threes

Looked into new miss distance #s. Bigger pitches tougher to command, over the top angles miss target more often, & then there's the Twins.... last in Location+ but near top in miss distance. Exploring pitchers, pitches, & teams through the lens of new Open Command #s www.nytimes.com/athletic/756...
A new metric, Open Command, offers more clarity in evaluating control for young pitchers
Open Command offers a clearer understanding of how well pitchers hit their intended targets more quickly than other command metrics.
