Model is currently being tested and tweaked. Once I hit 1,000 followers or June 1, I’ll provide the link to the full slate explorer 100% free for 2026

@EasyCapalot @sports4casuals Discrediting an entire historical season is certainly a choice

@KasperMLB @sports4casuals That’s one season. Meaningless homers too at that. A bunch of solo shots mostly. Look at his other 6 seasons lol

2026 Taylor Ward has 0 barrels and a bat speed of 68 mph

Easily @Peter_forth21

@EV_Dingers @MikeBets_ With or without API key

@KasperMLB @MikeBets_ lol yup i remember that last year. The OCR is really difficult for them, especially when the widths change and they spell players names wrong sometimes thankfully I have a much more reliable way that's instant

Do it for us rook Circa open: +700/-1050 (10%, +931 FV) Current: +500/-670 (14%, +609 FV)

@EV_Dingers @MikeBets_ Not text for scraping. Takes multiple passes to get the OCR to work correctly

@EV_Dingers @MikeBets_ It is, that’s the downside to it. The lines drop very late. The public link is easily findable via a Google search. That link stays static I loop a search for current dated file and once it grabs, I run the OCR. The OCR is the hard part. The documents are basically images, not

@sports4casuals Ignoring batted ball shape is a choice

@KasperMLB I’m cool with ignoring launch angle fuck it

Whatever you do, do NOT look at Trent Grisham, Michael Busch, Randy Arozarena, or Will Smith 2025 bat speed and their HR production from said bat speed

@MikeBets_ @EV_Dingers I’ve given the blue print - I’m not going to spoon feed as there are people who charge for this

@EV_Dingers @KasperMLB @KasperMLB where at?

@sports4casuals Yes, we are. I figured someone with your knowledge would go towards the root of the issue rather than just surface level. You can tell he’s smoking the ball by looking at his 99% squared up%, just needs more lift to get those barrel results I figured you’d go more in depth tbh

@KasperMLB I’m so confused are we not talking about why he has 0 in his first 15 games ?

@sports4casuals If you wanna use a 15 game sample of results over underlying metrics then have at it bud

@KasperMLB I’m not saying he will hit 0 home runs lmao - you said why does he have 0 home runs, it’s because 75-80% of home runs are on barrels and he has 0

@EasyCapalot @sports4casuals 34 HR isn’t good?

@KasperMLB @sports4casuals Trent has never been good tho 😭 dude has a career .216 average

@sports4casuals Can have elite results. You’re better than this bud. Come on now.

@sports4casuals Brother it’s been like 15 games do not tell me you think that’s a valid sample to use The process is elite for Ward and the barrels will come Look at his sweet spot and squared up percentiles Bat speed matters to an extent but as shown from 2025 people with sub 70 bat speed

@EasyCapalot @sports4casuals 99th percentile squared up %

@sports4casuals It’s not too misleading with Ward though because he’s also hitting for average. .345 with 11 of his 19 hits being doubles. Everyone doesn’t need to be hitting homers, he’s contributing. He’s being disciplined and hitting the ball where it needs to go.

@sports4casuals @EasyCapalot Tell that to Michael Busch, Trent Grisham, Randy Arozarena, and Will Smith

@EasyCapalot Doubles is a misleading stat, I could hit a 90 mph ground ball down the line for a double or a 400 foot flyball off the wall - I will tell you that a 68 mph bat speed is usually not going to lead to home runs

Not for the early games today; I’m traveling today. If I get home before the late games I’ll be able to post them

@EV_Dingers @MikeBets_ They update it periodically throughout the day and it shows movement if you have the OCR set on a loop

@KasperMLB @MikeBets_ they only update that once tho

@MikeBets_ @EV_Dingers They have a drop box link where they drop the odds and you can OCR it to get an automated feed without an API key

@EV_Dingers Where can I track circa movement?

I took data of every MLB pitch since the beginning of 2024 Here’s how Bat Speed correlates to the following hitting metrics
