      If you slow down every clip by 5%, it would actually need to be sped up by approx. 5.263% to return to the original speed. He is faster than 5% faster of what we were seeing.

    The greatest thing about Corbin Carroll is how fun it is to watch him run. Watching most speedsters is fun because of how effortlessly they fly around the diamond. But Corbin Carroll runs like it’s the end of the world, as if he’s going to die if he doesn’t make it to home plate.

      saying a "legacy award" for last season is a little dishonest. Yes, according to quite a few metrics he was SLIGHTLY better than Arenado. Yes, in a vacuum he would have probably won it. However, everyone grants there are limits to defensive metrics. "legacy award" implies that is was extremely out of place for him to actually win it. When, in reality, they both had amazing defensive seasons. I'm glad Ke'Bryan is winning it this year though.

    @abakella Рік тому +34

    Making the bases larger was a great decision by the MLB. While 3 true outcomes is an analytically efficient strategy to finding great players and building a team, base stealing needs to become a common part of the game again, especially since it is so effective for scoring runs
    And it's not just the base sizes either. Players such as Corbin Carroll, Bobby Witt, and Elly De La Cruz are young players who have a great combination of hitting and speed, and they will be stealing a lot of bases for years to come. And that's not even including Acuña, who has already established himself as one of baseball's top superstars, and the countless other young players you see at the top of the speed leaderboards

      Another difficult to quantity base running component is when a player purposely gets into a pickle between first and second with a runner on third late in a close game to try to bait a throw and stay untagged long enough so that the runner on third can score then (likely) getting tagged out afterwards.

    1st to home on a single: Pre-pitch, the D-backs had a 0.24 run expectancy for the inning. If Carrol had taken 2nd on the single up the middle, it would have been 0.47, but instead, with no errors, he scored, making the run expectancy for the inning more or less be 1.24, or a 0.77 run expectancy increase over the "expected" baserunning result, which is more helpful than if, with two outs and no one on base, a team got three walks in a row.
    Home to third on his own strikeout: Pre-pitch, the D-backs had a 0..7 run expectancy for the inning. If Carrol had just stood at home or went back to the dugout or sort of half-heartedly jogged to 1st when he struck out, it would have been 0.34, but instead, due to his baserunning, he got to third and the runner scored, making the run expectancy for the inning more or less be 1.95, or a 1.61 run expectancy increase over the "expected" baserunning result, which is more helpful than if, with two outs and no one on base, a team got one out taken off of the board to make there be only one out, and THEN got three walks in a row.
    That's not to say that it was all becaue of him, but still, it's pretty dang good.

    Hear me out. I think the Diamondbacks beating the Phillies in the NLCS will have big ramifications going forward. The Phillies embody the modern analytical three true outcomes approach while the DBacks were more of a throwback small ball and fundamentals team. In the final two games of the series, the Phillies’ bats went cold as a lot of “home runs or nothing” squads tend to go in the playoffs while the DBacks managed to make solid contact and spread the ball around the field and kept the line moving while sacrificing outs and getting timely steals. Game 7 was a microcosm of how one style of hitting has its limits in the playoffs while the other will always be timeless. I can see that series being very important in terms of how GMs put teams together going forward.

      this comment honestly makes absolutely no sense. small-ball squads can go cold too; in fact, the only team to get shut out in the NLCS was the D-backs, and they also scored 1 and 2 runs in other games.
      you can't just cherry-pick specific games to show how TTO-based teams fail and then completely ignore when the other team did the same thing but arguably even worse

      @@n8_nI just watched the Phillies try to hit a home run on every single pitch they swung at and they only scored 3 runs in the final two games of the series while leaving an entire parade on the bases. At the same time I watched the DBacks get timely singles and hit the ball where it was pitched to manufacture runs in an efficient manner. That definitely means something.

    • @n8_n
      @n8_n Рік тому +1

      ​@@philly_sports1558 what makes small ball "efficient", and why does that matter? you keep using that word, and it just seems like it means "scored runs with small ball instead of HRs" which, again, isn't better or worse. scoring more runs is pretty much better no matter how it's done.
      also, you are conflating the Phillies executing TTO baseball badly (pressing too much instead of being patient and waiting for their pitch) with a flaw in the overall strategy. the Phillies just played badly, that's a Phillies issue and not a TTO issue.
      (I'm not by any means trying to argue that TTO is king or anything, I'm just opposed to the idea that it's meaningfully more prone to cold streaks than an overall worse offense with a different style)

      @@n8_nI’m just saying it’s way easier to go cold in a playoff series with a TTO approach than a more balanced and situational hitting approach. As a fan of the team, I should know. It happened after Game 3 of last year’s World Series when they hit 5 home runs and it happened after Game 2 of the NLCS when they scored 10 runs. It’s very easy to fall in love with the long ball but it’s very easy to get cold out of nowhere with that approach to hitting.

    • @n8_n
      @n8_n Рік тому +2

      @@philly_sports1558 again, though, not really true. you could make the exact same argument for small ball; what happens if you're going against a good catcher and can't steal, or you can't string together 2-3 hits in an inning? both of those things can very quickly fall apart in a playoff environment too (and did multiple times for the D-backs)
      the overarching lesson here is that sometimes teams slump regardless of their playing style

    no one mentions this but the inclusion of wGDP in WAR creates a bias towards strikeout heavy hitters. It has been stated that the value lost from strikeouts is generally made up by the decrease in double plays, but if you already credited these hitters for avoiding the DPs, then you're overvaluing guys who strikeout a lot. It is very minor, but another fun little potential improvement in the calculations.

    This is kinda based on your “Let’s Watch Rickey Henderson Play Baseball” video but it would be cool to develop a stat that tracks the psychological impact of a player’s baserunning. It was clear in the 1989 ALCS footage that pitchers were distracted by Rickey. Over a season, that had to have some impact on his team’s hitting when he was on base. I think it’s a challenge to measure though because you’d have to compare not only to how those hitters performed with no one on but also how they performed with other baserunners on in any given situation. There would probably be sample size problems unfortunately :(
