This is amazing. Wow. Pretty much will completely expose both overrated and underrated defenders. Route efficiency for base runners?

[Angrioter]

Armando Galarraga will cry

I doubt it, Jays still use basic stats like W/L and ERA. This stuff is MLB certified eyecandy, AA will eat this up lol

100%.

 

I wonder how quickly this data stabilizes overall. Also wonder how Goins would look. Probably very good.

In case others didn't click on the article, apparently it'll only launch for Brewers, Twins, and Mets home games, then roll out to other clubs as the season progresses. All clubs should have it by the start of next year.

Oh my!

[Captain Adama]

Oh baby.

 

I can't wait to see the results of Mike Trout's fielding.
