JD Davis and His Breakout 2019 Season | Stat Stories
JD Davis struggled to get playing time with the Houston Astros in 2018 and when he did get a chance, he strugglied pretty mightily. But after he was traded to the New York Mets prior to 2019, Davis broke out at the plate to become one of the Mets key hitters. So what changed for him?
In this edition of Stat Stories, I take a look at Davis' years in the minor leagues and his status as a prospect. While he performed well, scouts weren't sure if his hitting approach would translate to big league success. And after his first two years in Houston with the Astros, scouts seemed to be right.
JD Davis put up some big numbers with the Mets however. He cut back on strikeouts, pulled the ball less, and did much better against breaking pitches. Combine this with how hard he was hitting the ball, and Davis had a legitimate breakout 2019 season.
There are a few causes for concern though. Can Davis hit pitches up in the zone? And to go along with that, will he be able to increase his launch angle to full utilize his immense raw power?

The Terrific but Brief Career of Brandon Webb | Stat Stories
Переглядів 20 тис.4 роки тому
Brandon Webb was one of the top starting pitchers in Major League Baseball in the mid 2000s. But after leaving his start early on Opening Day 2009, we never got to see him take a major league mound again. We look back on his 6 years in MLB and see just how good he was in his terrific but brief career. In this video, I recap Brandon Webb's 6 full seasons with the Arizona Diamondbacks, going from...

Do the Texas Rangers Have a Breakout Hitter in Willie Calhoun? (feat. Eephus) | Stat Stories

Willie Calhoun was acquired by the Texas Rangers in 2017 in exchange for Yu Darvish. As one of the top prospects in the organization, expectations were high for him. It took a few seasons, but in 2019, Calhoun finally showed a glimpse of his massive potential. And there's reason to believe he could be even better in 2020. In this video, I look at Calhoun's 2019 season and how his power numbers ...

In this video I look at Martinez and his relationship with Craig Wallenbrock and Robert Van Scoyoc. These were two hitting ins...

These players, along with a handful of others, not only were drafted after the first two rounds, but never at...

The Oakland Athletics were pretty mediocre for a number of years. They had some promising young pitchers in 2011, and Billy Beane decided to trade those guys away for a number of prospects.

In this video I look at how the A's somehow won a division title against two heavy weight teams i...

Breaking Down the Miami Marlins Rebuild and Top Prospects | Stat Stories
Переглядів 37 тис.4 роки тому
The Miami Marlins had a promising core of players around 2015, with an outfield consisting of Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich, and Marcell Ozuna. But when the team still couldn't make the postseason (and combined with financial trouble and low attendance), new ownership decided to blow up the roster. So let's see how the Marlins are doing a few years later. In this video, I start by looking...
Was Gio Urshela's 2019 Breakout for Real? | Stat Stories
Переглядів 19 тис.4 роки тому
For years, Gio Urshela was what you would call a 4A player. He did pretty well at triple A in the minors, but wasn't quite good enough to stick around in the majors. But then 2019 happened, and now Urshela is a starter for one of the best teams in baseball. So how did it happen? In this video, I look at just how well Urshela played in 2019, comparing him to fellow Yankees infielders Gleyber Tor...

The 2018 Seattle Mariners were one of the oldest teams in baseball, with very few players being 25 years old or younger.

Since 2022 only the two best division winners per league advance. The 3rd division winner plays together with league team's 4,5 & 6 in the wild card series. There are 12 teams in the postseason now, 6 for every league, the 2 best division winners advance, the rest plays in the wild card series.
Total bust at MLB
Gio DFA’d by my Tigers today after an underwhelming year. Totally unpredictable but this video has not aged well lol
Does the mlb have a league where players develop in? Like the g-league for the NBA?
Oooohhhh my lovely cardnials.... how times have changed
So why Dodgers are playing against Yankees in the regular season if they are from different leagues?
So if you claim a player off waivers do they need to be on the 26 man roster or can they be in triple A
The fact that there are so many teams feeding the mlb shows that baseball could have been a cultural cornerstone the same as soccer in many parts of the world. Would have been amazing to have a relegation system with teams strictly representing their city/town/community rather than franchised system where teams jump around cities.
No mention of the pennant?
I cared for Eddie Joost near the end of his life. He told me some amazing stories about his life as a big leaguer. RIP to a great ball player.
Deyvison De Los Santos
3:20 hey I took that Philmont expedition a year after you did!
Mel Ott stepped up to help a young Willie Mays.
Do MiLB's have tournaments, championships, postseasons?
Everyone here that’s still confused is retarded
What does it mean when they say a player is "out of options"?
Great stuff
Thanks for making this vid dude. Exactly what I needed as a new fan to the sport haha
I'm such a newbie I literally had to ask Bing Copilot what a head to head record was
Well, the Texas Rangers have the Frisco Rough Riders. That’s the only MiLB team that I’m familiar with.
Thanks for this. Wonderful story of a lesser known hero.
Polo Grounds rightcenter was 449' The rightfield short porch was only right down the line; 259'.
another reason he is often forgotten is that the team he spent his entire career with moved
This video is really good at explaining the system but for anyone seeing this, it's slightly out of date. In 2022, MLB added another wild card team to each league. The only real differences is that now the lowest-seeded division winner partakes in the Wild Card round against this new 6 seed. This round is now also a best-of-3 series. Other than that it's the same.
This is one of the best videos regarding an old school player. Well done sir!
They should add expansion teams to the minors
I think you missed some "U"'s. Better question is why nobody picked up on you missing them?
I can make this quick.. the Yankees happened.
Cool to see the hype for players who would form the core of a rising Marlins team. Even though Bleday didn’t work out and Sanchez hasn’t played since 2020 bc of weird injuries, Sanchez and Cabrera are solid starters and Chisholm is a star and easily the face of the team
You should explain independent ball I feel like it is to unrecognized by most so it would probably be visas a lot
*viewed
Great Info! The Giants have retired Ott’s #4 but he deserves a statue as well , Hubbell, Bill Terry, McGraw and other NY Giants deserve more respect from current day Giants organization & fans too… oh, coincidentally Ott has a Bay City tie … he managed the Oakland Oaks (PCL) for a few seasons before his tragic passing in Nov, 1958
You need to update this. Class A short season and rookie advanced are gone
Thank you
Watching this so I don’t have to watch the patriots all season long
I don't get it, isn't supposed to be 6 teams per league?
This was made 4 years ago mlb has changed the playoff format since then. Now there’s 2 wild card series in each league consisting of 4 teams thats best out of 3 instead of just 1 game, and the top 2 division winners in each league get a bye and skip to the divisional series
Now do another video all about how teams mess with service time in order to screw players out of arbitration and free agency.
🎓⚾👍
best explanation ever
thank you!!!
I appreciate your take on baseball history. I learned something, and that makes me fortunate. Mel Ott. His approach to hitting marvels me still.
What is a "seed"? Mentioned multiple times. Explanation would be nice. Can't really understand anything without that.
rank
A seed is basically just a ranking system to determine who goes where in the playoff bracket. The 1st and 2nd seed teams skip the wildcard round and go right to the divisional series. The 3rd 4th 5th and 6th seeds go to the teams that will play in the wildcard round. 1st seed goes to the division winner with the best record in their respective league. This year it was the orioles in the AL and the braves in NL. The 2nd and 3rd seeds go to the remaining division winners in order of win/loss record. For this year in the AL that was Houston with the 2nd seed which also means they get a bye (meaning they skip the wildcard round) and the twins got the 3rd seed. It’s a little confusing because a team like the rays have a better record than both Houston and the twins but since they didn’t win their division they end up getting the 4th seed.
Thanks so much for this explanation! I've always loved baseball and I'm trying to help my team reach the post season in 'Road to the Show' in MLB The Show and I'm soooo close to getting a Wild Card spot. I'm into September and the 5 game series against TB (division leaders at the moment) will decide it. I'm playing as Boston.
Why they don’t combine both divisions and rules and make a new league for all North America ?
Good video
he used to call his pitch the sanker, in country twang
Crazy how baseball been a thing since colonial slavery in America
I never forget Ott. But I grew up in Gretna near his statue and Mel Ott park
I got his autograph his rookie year. Just couldnt stay healthy
Thank you for this
A girl here trying to get into sports thank you for this lol
