Quinn Booth

@tangotiger Thank you! I’m thinking about doing a bunch of ones for catchers next- for their defensive numbers, but also curious if their offensive stats have a steeper drop than the average player.

@QuinnmBooth I have a whole thread here: x.com/tangotiger/sta…

I wanted to post one more graph from trying Tango's delta method. Contact has a much later peak than swing speed and chase. I'm looking at a bunch more articles on aging curves, would love to see any others people have!

@tangotiger @drivelinekyle Got it, thank you!

@QuinnmBooth @drivelinekyle I set the scale so that the highest number is 72 mph, and makes it more relevant Subtract 72 from my y-axis and you'll get the same thing you are getting

@tangotiger @drivelinekyle Thanks for responding! I just went back into your older blogs about delta method to make sure I understand. Here's what I meant: In my graph, cumulative delta starts from 0, at age 20, to show only the changes as players age.

@QuinnmBooth @drivelinekyle Not sure what you are saying, but I did not "start from an average". I applied a delta method, and then chained them. Which sounds like what you did with your "cumulative delta" comment

@drivelinekyle @tangotiger Statcast Data from 2021-2024, graphing Age versus cumulative delta rather than starting from an average like Tango did

@drivelinekyle Inspired by your comment on having to make earlier swing decisions, I wanted to look at chase rates (OZSwing%) to see if the aging curve is similar. It's almost an exact reflection of the swing speed graph, including steeper increases starting around age 31.

@nimmofan9 @discussbaseball Hi nimmofan9, no it is not the right word to use. Hope this helps.

@discussbaseball I was at a Mets game over the summer and witnessed Michael Toglia extrapolate 3 home runs on us. I’m not even sure if “extrapolate” is the right word to use, but I’m clearly not over it.

Some 2025 breakout candidates: - Matt Wallner (MIN) - Edwin Uceta (TB) - Bowden Francis (TOR) - Pete Crow Armstrong (CHC) - Spencer Arrighetti (HOU) - Rhett Lowder (CIN) - Michael Toglia (COL)

@RobertFrey40 I know @mlbalchemist is

It's October 30th and I'm already excited for the Division 2 Baseball season to start on January 31st...am I the only one?

@RobertFrey40 Haha I did, got what I needed. Now I wanna have the link to your playlist!

@RobertFrey40 Oh I missed it. Welp

@RobertFrey40 What time zone?

@MattCoates14 My thought exactly

Arizona basically giving us PAC-12 after dark right now. Some things never die ❤️
