Batting average can lie. Just look at Luis Arraez. Yes, he can hit .300 and win batting titles. But his on-base percentage should be much higher than it is and there’s a reason why. He chases. Arraez refuses to walk. He swings at pitches out of the zone, even in key moments when his team desperately needs base runners. In this video I’m showing two back-to-back pitches where he swings at ball four. That cannot happen from a guy whose value is supposed to be getting on base. This is what I call a soft .300. The batting average looks great, but the impact is limited. He doesn’t drive the ball with authority. Low exit velocity. A lot of soft contact. And because he won’t take walks, he leaves OBP on the table. Imagine if he added discipline. If he simply took what pitchers give him, his OBP jumps and now you’re talking about a completely different level of player. Instead, you get a hitter who racks up singles in hot streaks but doesn’t maximize his value. High average. Low leverage. That’s the difference.

Got my Caitlin Clark Bobbleheads!

Hollywood is getting cooked This scenes looks like a movie Made with Seedance 2.0

Salvy teaching Doug Eddings the bottom of the strike zone. Over and Over and Over again. But Eddings refuses to learn. 😂

Bobby Dalbec just hit his first career NPB homer on Opening Day for the Yomiuri Giants. Doesn’t look like those spring training blasts were a fluke…

This is one of the problems with pitchers in the WBC. Your $150M pitcher won't even start the first series. And before anyone comes at me with... "but there is a lot of games left" - Let me remind you: You can't win a pennant in April, but you can lose one.
