Which Home Run Derby slugger is best suited to take advantage of the new rules?
With hitters limited to a set number of swings per round, endurance will matter less than pure, raw power in this year's new-look Derby.

I found these two aging curves to be validating, but I also think they inspire more questions when it comes to Cam Schlittler's approach and how it will age.
Derek VanRiper@dvr.bsky.social · 4w ago🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾ After a USMNT post-mortem, @enosarris.bsky.social and I tried to predict how a fastball-heavy approach like Cam Schlittler's will age, and we discussed a few pitchers that have exceeded their K and BB% projections from OOPSY. 🎧 pod.fo/e/4440e0 📺 www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrels
