Psssst. Ball’s different. Again. Drag is up, distance is down. Who knows why. www.nytimes.com/athletic/642...
It is interesting to me that a) a manager pretty much said he cares but also b) the effect is negligible at best in three of last four years. I’m in on shape familiarity general but unsure it works within series / over off days or not.
The Mariners had 25 instances where an RP was seeing a hitter for the 3rd time in a series, including when Bazardo saw Springer for the 3rd time in the ALCS.

The Dodgers have had 1.

On the current state of the "reliever familiarity" effect:

What Dan Wilson's decision to use Bazardo vs. Springer says about optimal reliever usage

I don't even know how they would have those. must be one season (2009/2010?) but even then that was just pitch fx. xwOBA I thought was the Statcast one, which started in 2015.

Joe Ryan is kinda similar I think
Oh yeah that’s a really good one
Probably ate the whole platter
Modern version maybe with the two sliders and better 4s
Great change though right
Might like this one best!
Bartolo Colon, but I don’t think he had two sliders
I like woodruff better I think, but now his best secondary is a changeup. Wheelers secondaries are really good, but woo could become wheeler I bet.
Not every pitcher has to have a comp of course, but I can’t figure one out for Bryan Woo. Two fastballs that are probably better than his two sliders, with command as his best feature? Who does that remind you of?
Yep Trevor May absolutely said that!
@enosarris.bsky.social @dvr.bsky.social am I hallucinating or last week when you discussed not moving Sho off of leadoff did Eno say “you can’t cause you never know when he’ll go 3-3 with 3 homers”? That’s quite a call and I think I didn’t make it up like Derek’s fan falling from the stands 😂

That insanity goes down officially as a grounded into double play, making it the only batted ball hit over 350 feet for a GIDP in the pitch tracking era (reg. + postseason).

Max Muncy grounded into a 404-foot double play.

I don't know that we're talking about Logan Gilbert's Resting Pitch Face enough. Elite. Karstens-esque. Simply breathtaking.

I dunno, here are Riley Greene's swing comps based on tilt, speed, and contact point
