Devoted follower of Christ. I am now back to doing stats and writing about baseball!

[Michael Kasper @KasperStats]

I've recompiled my big correlations-list using the team data for the entire 2023 season. This tells you what stats are useful measurements and predictors of offensive production (wOBA, OPS) and which are not (strikeout percentage, contact percentage).

Lol Cricketers Can Easily Become Baseball Players.Playing Baseball Is A Cakewalk For Cricketers.Few Months Ago,Star England Cricketer Liam Plunkett Who Is 41 Now,Made His Professional Baseball Debut And Dismissed One Of The Best Hitters Of The League Without Even Breaking A Sweat

[Michael Kasper @KasperStats]

@BamJam2112 now to be fair I just happened to face literally the best pitcher in the league my first time, but still

[Michael Kasper @KasperStats]

I play recreational men's baseball and this guy wouldn't be the best pitcher I face in any given year

@BamJam2112 Mine's 25+ (which thankfully means former college players have had at least 3 years to get worse 😂), I can't imagine playing 18+ and facing guys that came right outta college lol.

But yeah my first PA in the league was a guy throwing 86-88...

if this goes on much longer FOX gon have to figure out how to fit triple digits on the scoreboard

[Michael Kasper @KasperStats]

@YankeesFiles Slapping the ball at the shortstop with a runner on 1st is better than striking out, I've always said!

[Michael Kasper @KasperStats]

Chandler Simpson just slapped a soft ground ball at the shortstop with a runner on 1st, beat the throw out, then got caught stealing. But Traditional Baseball Fans will tell you that was better than striking out.

could u imagine if this happens pitch-for-pitch lol

[RotoBot App @rotobot_ai]

We simulated tonight’s World Series Game 3, Brewers at Rays, 10,000 times ⚾

Every pitch is a real one: the pitcher’s own mix for that count, where he really puts it, and what each hitter does with it.

Here’s the most typical game, and the matchups that swing it 👇

When Pat, AJ, and the Boys are clearly the mathematically smartest folks in the room, you KNOW you messed up 😂

[greg @gandalf_thegreg]

you could not waterboard this information out of me

[Michael Kasper @KasperStats]

@KeithRuscitti @toddvs35 Is a player forced out when the ball "beats them to a base," or when that base is touched by a player in possession of the baseball?

[Michael Kasper @KasperStats]

Smoltz: Miz doesn't "paint."

Also Smoltz: Miz leverages those tiny areas at the upper and lower edges of the zone.

[Michael Kasper @KasperStats]

@RobertStock6 He also talked about how Miz never "paints" but also how he exploits the tiny areas at the top and bottom of the zone. That's... what that is!

[Michael Kasper @KasperStats]

@RobertStock6 They're pretending the "if any part of the ball clips the zone" thing is new, despite that being how it's always been!

[Michael Kasper @KasperStats]

@JoeyVotto Can't believe how clueless they let the fellas in the booth be sometimes.

[Michael Kasper @KasperStats]

I hope the kids in Africa enjoy their "2026 World Series Champions Tampa Bay Rays" merch

[Michael Kasper @KasperStats]

Put the ball in play and good things happen, right Caminero?!

[Michael Kasper @KasperStats]

@JaguarGator9NFL I knew we were cooked as soon as we had to start using the word "signed" for college athletics

[Michael Kasper @KasperStats]

That kick was absolute NAILS
