  1. he went 4-30ish when they changed his hand placement. Went back this week. Making more contact and hard contact again, just needs to get more of them in the air
  2. Well he was just clocked at just above league average
  3. Changing the goalposts isn't a good look. All groundballs cant be bad and then now they are good lmao. Vlad isn't slow, actually a tick above average i believe. He just hits the ball too hard Never said same player, just showing the people crying about GB% that its OK for a 21 year old who never tried to hit HRs in the minors. Other top young MLB players have similar GB%. If the balls he hit the wall on were slightly .01 higher in launch angle he would have 14 ish HRs. The crying is a joke. Let the coaches work with him and he will be right where we all thought he would be
  4. Soto: 54% GB% his rookie year and 53% this year. Guess he is a bust
  5. Wouldn't know that by reading the board lol
  6. It has over and over. People crying the same thing over and over doesnt make it any more fact or worth debating at length over and over. They are working on the launch angle and his ground ball% isn't much different than Tatis for example (47% last year and 46% this year). He gets pitched tougher than just about anyone. A solid 40 games in a season encompassing a worldwide pandemic is respectable, especially cause we don't know what happened when everyone was in quarantine, what they could work on etc. He has some things that need tweaking, but what 21 year old doesn't.
  7. He is a solid 21 year old on pace for 20+ homers in a full season. Looks like a star in the making to me Also, his GB% is 54%
  8. Vlad: 103 MPH and 105 MPH ground outs
  9. Yep, it will come. Still on pace for 20+ homers in 162 games. This last like 4-30 stretch came when they lowered his hands. Last 3 games it has changed back and he has looked better. I still think he overswings at times causing the groundballs
  10. Id also add, if Vlad hasn't hit the wall so much for singles, just a minute change in launch angle he would have like 7 more HRs than he does. He has been good for a 21 year old who is trying to change launch angle during the season, while learning a new position and being pitched very carefully compared to others
  11. I mean on a whole its pretty much impossible to tell, but he did lose weight pre ST and during the season. He has put effort into it. He is only 21 so the fact he has made an effort i think bodes well. Next season he could be a monster if he can do it again
  12. Kirk has looked really good at C tonight
  13. Very insightful, but put the BS in a bucket next time not the thread
  14. Lot of groundballs tonight...find some holes
  15. Why everyone has been guessing and guessing wrong the last few games...needs to be fixed/stopped
  16. Vlad crushed that line drive at 109 MPH to RF
  17. You need to cool off some and open your eyes
