We're looking forward to the @MLB Winter Meetings in Orlando next month. Our team will be meeting with clubs, partners, and media to share the latest advancements in video-based ball tracking, command analysis, and biomechanics.
If you’ll be attending, we’d welcome the chance to connect.
Command Tracker Free Agent Analysis
@zacgallen23 13–15 record and 4.83 ERA belied strong underlying metrics including a Fastball and overall Command Index of 79% as well as a 4.50 FIP and 1.26 WHIP. These metrics suggest Gallen’s record was affected by external factors, random variation and even some bad luck. The data showing Gallen has above-average pitch execution and he consistently hits his spots points to a likely rebound, meaning he could be undervalued. With a qualifying offer extended (and likely declined), Gallen enters free agency as a coveted, durable mid-rotation starter poised for a bounce-back.
Infinite Sky Free Agency Analysis continues

Edwin Díaz has demonstrated elite upside across his career, but his performance has also fluctuated. While his stuff remains top-tier, his Command Index (≈ 75%) reflects the same inconsistency that has led to stretches of volatility when his release point or slider feel waver. He relies heavily on a two-pitch mix (fastball/slider), which limits adaptability compared to other elite closers.
Ryan Helsley, though not a direct comparison, offers a steadier profile. His Fastball Command Index (78%) and overall Command Index (81%) point to superior execution and more consistent fastball location. For a team seeking reliability and efficiency in high-leverage situations, Helsley’s command metrics and pitch balance suggest a good lower-variance option.
Dylan Cease hits free agency as a top arm, but with real volatility. His breaking-ball command is elite (82% Command Index), but his fastball is inconsistent (74%). He’ll draw plenty of interest, but he’s a higher-risk, higher-reward option than other top starters. @DylanCease
@frambervaldez59 struggled late in 25 (6.05 ERA in last 10 starts), his FB & SL Command remained elite @ 83%, with an overall Command Index above 81%. Valdez’s command suggests these stumbles were anomalies & remains a durable starter with frontline upside & will land a big deal.
We’re excited to announce the formation of the Infinite Sky Sports Advisory Board, bringing together elite baseball minds to help shape the future of performance. Thank you @SBJ
