Catcher pop times

 

Moreno is 10th overall, Kirk in the 40's, Jansen 50's

 

 

and Moreno leads the majors in throwouts

 

Kirk doesn't even get up half of the time because he's a fat ass. Ends up soft tossing the ball

[RobinThicc]

Very nice

Yes that's true but both Kirk and Jansen are near the bottom of the league in pop time

 

Kirks is 1.98, Jansen 1.99

 

Best pop time is 1.83 (realmuto). Moreno is 1.9

 

People are kidding themselves if they think that .09 and .08 seconds from the catcher is the main factor in a stolen base. Ffs the data is right there for people it just takes a few seconds to look up and an iota of common sense.

 

The pop time difference between 7th and 60th is 0.09 seconds. Pop time is virtually the same through the entire league.

[Jays24]

Biggio has looked great after the first few months!

Kirk doesn't even get up half of the time because he's a fat ass. Ends up soft tossing the ball

 

he has a better pop time than Jansen

Yes, pop up time with arm strength and accuracy are all important. We all see the same thing and don't consider Kirk close to being good at throwing guys out

The video review that takes 5 mins to check if a runner is out or safe at 2B - is exactly that difference. It makes a difference - everything makes a difference, pitcher slide step combined with catcher pop time combined with catcher throwing. It adds up.

 

Catcher pop time is an important scouting grade for catchers

[Delgalladay]

Nice. This better be over now!

[Jays24]

he has a better pop time than Jansen

 

I'm saying he doesn't even get up half of the time and ends up just throwing from the crouching spot. Going to guess that helps his "pop up" time. Regardless, his accuracy and arm strength aren't good enough to offset this.

[travisinfla]

mvp's = rookies

[Jonn]

Oakland really lmao. Don't you want a top pick.

[BlueJays]

Wtf Oakland

[Omar]

That was not lodged. s*** call.

He definitely needs to get in shape, I'm sure the Jays left him alone after his silver slugger season, same what they did with Manoah and now they're paying for it

[jaysguy44]

Such a stupid rule

[Jonn]

Bro that challenge. I'm f***ing weak.

[BlueBaller]

Almost like hes a quality extra player.

 

Definitely has been today. Very on the ball. That fake at third on the pickoff almost baited the runner.

Sure, it’s a factor, it’s just not THE factor that people think it is. Pitcher delivery times vary far more than catcher pop times do.
