Pretty gross outlook going forward
they need to get lucky and have several of Pearson, Tiedemann, Zulueta, Robberse, Barriera, Macko etc. turn into quality MLB players over the next two years.
How about remove the extra runner
But the managers can go from the top of the lineup in every inning of extra innings if they want
it would almost be like a shootout
just the best hitters leading off, over and over
Springer Bo Vlad in the 10th
Springer Bo Vlad in the 11th
hahaha
I fully support the cops/security spearing any trespassers onto the field as violently as possible.
Ideally, anyone who steps onto the field ends up with whiplash AT THE LEAST. Cervical damage is warranted.
Yeah I doubt it.
Wells - Rios - Johnson was a really good defensive alignment at times. That's probably as close as you can get. Johnson was like a poor man's Pillar, prime Wells was smooth as f***, and Rios had range and a cannon.
Maybe one of the years with Barfield and Moseby was excellent in all three positions? Probably just two spots though.
I don't know if the Jays had a lot of chances to run.
They did make a number of aggressive baserunning plays though:
KK 1st to 3rd
Springer 1st to 3rd
Vlad taking 2nd and almost getting thrown out
Bo running through the stop sign to score a run
I bet their percentiles include ALL players of all samples. That will push regulars up as the other plays in the sample will be worse
but, for Varsho it doesn't really matter. whether you put a 57 or a 60 on the raw power is basically the same.
yeah it's definitely close to plus raw power. it the upper end of the first standard deviation.
252 qualified hitters in statcast last year... 112.5 max EV would be 75th of 252
that's like 70th percentile
also at 112.5 max EV in 2022: Renfroe, Trea Turner, Sal Perez
I have this in my head as a rule of thumb:
<104 = 20 raw power
104 = 30 begins
108 = 40 begins
110 = "pure" 50
113 = 60 begins
115 = 70 begins
118 = 80 begins
almost 70% of mlb players should be between like 108 and 113, that's roughly the two lines one SD around mean raw power
some of these might be off by 1 mph
he's horrible
it's remarkable, sometimes, how drastically scouts can miss on a player
the nationals are so depressing. it's reaching a point where fans must be wondering if the world series was even worth it.
