24-year old Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing leads ALL of MLB in xwOBA over the last 14 days (.696).
Ahead of Shohei. Ahead of Judge.
Problem: there’s no spot for him. Here’s how LA fits him in👇

Bryan Reynolds is in a great position to hit for the cycle today after getting a HR and a triple in his first 2 ABs.
Definitely something to watch! The @Pirates are hitting.

@CTSCTSCTSCT @PitchingNinja Right! Would hate to be in that batters box
English
@TheDataDiamond @PitchingNinja High velo with his extension must be fucking impossible to hit

@tangotiger There will always be that “but it’s right there, it should be a strike” people.
I think they need to just stick with the strike zone and let it be what it is. It is frustrating to see a pitch miss by 0.1” but it’s also just part of the game!
English
What they are saying is they want to introduce a "buffer" zone, whereby it's "call stands"
But whatever size, there will be a sliver beyond that will be the source of argument
Jomboy@Jomboy_
Genuine question: Whatever you change the margin to… you’re always going to have calls that are 0.5% within that new area right? You can’t run away from this, right?

@UnderdogMLB The twins are a hitting machine!! When this guy is healthy, he is a top CF in the league. He has speed, he can make plays on defense and he’s got the bat to match. What more could you want?!
English
@Handsmanns @TalkinBaseball_ That is true! Consistently being off for the whole game and not being able to find it again is a tough spot to be! If he isn’t injured then I’m sure he’ll look just fine by his next outing
English
@TheDataDiamond @TalkinBaseball_ Happens more often then you think. Like miz can just be off a little and he will drop 5 mph
English
Brandon Woodruff was pulled in the second inning of his start today.
His fastball velocity was in the mid-80s after being in the low-90s in his previous outings this year
English
My Bayesian projection system beats Marcel on Brier score for every rate stat I project - hitter and pitcher. Walk-forward, no leakage.
On CRPS, Marcel still wins most stats. The intervals need player-specific recalibration. Getting there.

Boston’s number 2 prospect is destroying AA pitchers.
Franklin Arias through 16 games: .407/.476/.870, 7 HR, 17 RBI, 7.9% K rate.
His ISO jumped from .080 to .463.
For context, he had 8 home runs in 526 plate appearances ALL of last year across three levels.
English
@PitchingNinja The velo gap between his fastball and changeup is about 10mph on avg now. Comes from the same tunnel too, this dude is nasty!
English
The pitch design era gets talked about in terms of adding velocity or inventing sweepers. But the biggest gains are often subtractive. Identifying the pitch that's leaking runs and having the discipline to shelve it.
English
Kumar Rocker's cutter was horrible last season. On 286 pitches, a .380 xwOBA. This year, he's thrown it a few times and the xwOBA is .936. Instead of trying to fix it, he killed it.
The slider he replaced it with is holding a .279 xwOBA on 161 pitches. That's a real sample.

3 pitchers who quietly rebuilt their arsenal this season.
Same arm. Different pitcher.
English
The scoreless streak is over. The Cubs end Mason Miller’s phenomenal run.
We will see how many runs he allows in this inning.

Ildemaro Vargas is having an incredible breakout in his age 34 season:
.367 AVG
6 HR
20 RBI
1.104 OPS
All in only 20 games🐍
English
Jose Soriano’s 0.24 ERA is about to triple and that’s still a crazy good ERA.
His BABIP is .207. His ERA-FIP is -2.13.
But his K% jumped from 21% to 31%. His whiff rate is 97th percentile. Knuckle curve has been elite for 3 years now.
0.24 was never real but the breakout is.

Bobby Witt Jr. hits his first homer of the season
108.4 MPH, 427 feet

@jlacc23 For real, big time production from the home grown guys!

Hella niggas from the farm are showing out this
Year we can kill that dodgers don’t develop anyone narrative

Justin Wrobleski is proving to be a legit starting pitcher, with real composure. In his 1st inning, he allowed a hit and a walk and then got 2 Ks straight and a ground out. No runs. 2nd inning - bases loaded, 1 out. No runs. He just got through 6 scoreless innings.
