@UCentralMO I really appreciate you guys putting me on a collections list for $34.50 without giving me any notice whatsoever. As an alumni and proud Mule, I am impressed with your current operation. You are doing an outstanding job.

@BeRock21 This is really cool! It's shows where players need to be before you start training to be a bopper. Standard EV, high LA = unproductive

[Bennett Oliver @BennettOliver15]

@BeRock21 I understand the significance of that stat. We talked about it at Hutch. But why are even measure success on batting average? Batting average sucks

[Bennett Oliver @BennettOliver15]

@BeRock21 26 home runs and 46 rbi's.... that's so unfortunate

[Bennett Oliver @BennettOliver15]

@BeRock21 Or does that tell you that he needs to lower his LA to the opposite field because he doesn't have the juice that way. Pull with power and hit it hard and flat to the opposite field. That can up his OBP% and feed him more pitches to elevate to the pull side.

[Bennett Oliver @BennettOliver15]

@BeRock21 The barrel will always move upward. The hands work slightly down and through. It's the same thing essentially, depending on what you are looking at and what point prior to contact. Hands vs barrel. It depends on the focus.

[Bennett Oliver @BennettOliver15]

@BeRock21 They should just hit him in the ribs with a 4 seam and put him on the 10 day with a contusion. He may swing and miss but I doubt he does it twice in any given AB. #thebestever #noargument

[Bennett Oliver @BennettOliver15]

@BeRock21 So according to that sample it looks like swing and miss % on a slider is literally 2x the amount of a fastball. But early count G hack fastballs vs two strike swing sliders also changes those stats. It can get so granular if you wanted

[Bennett Oliver @BennettOliver15]

@BeRock21 @JLaws_29 You're right. Average LA doesn't really give you much to learn from when each pitch and count is going to change how a hitter attacks the ball. Resulting in various LA's from the intent of the swing. if you could group all inside fastballs on advantage counts then you may have it

[Bennett Oliver @BennettOliver15]

@BeRock21 @JLaws_29 Like your idea but I would focus on percentage of exit velocities over 90mph first, rather than launch angle of those balls. If you can't square it up then the LA doesn't mean anything. You can have a perfect LA with low EV and it's a fly ball. See what I mean?

@Ricky31PR Okayyyy.. I'll take that. It sounds to me like the only way of subtly reminding the audience that they are Latin.

[Bennett Oliver @BennettOliver15]

@Ricky31PR why do Latin commentators only speak with an accent when referring to a Latin American country?

@kreeves7 But I will say I definitely loved getting live AB's during the week to prepare! To figure out if what I'm working on is translating, I needed live AB's

[Bennett Oliver @BennettOliver15]

@kreeves7 Unless it was facing a righty BP thrower and then a lefty starter I understand that. But I don't play against the pitcher I play against the ball. Doesn't matter who is throwing it.
