@903124S If by non-magnus you want to measure ssw, you won’t capture it like this bc ssw induced movement can actually be exactly in the direction of magnus

@TJStats GRIFFIN 1 LOL

@DocEisenhauer Going to keep checking in on this one throughout the year, Doc.

Try to stay about your wits, pal.

Someone get this guy a glass of water

[FO INTEL @MLBFrOfcTakes]

@tangotiger @drivelinekyle Tom, please implement a better way to visualize this data. There are many.

[FO INTEL @MLBFrOfcTakes]

Seen some stuff about cortisonal left disk blowback and angular femoral acceleration too afaik

[Eno Sarris @enosarris]

@AngelusNovus3 Yeah and biomechanic touchpoints probably matter too. Seen some stuff about layback and scapular mobility and injury iirc.

@srbrown70 Actual question: Why would a stuff model be handedness neutral?

[FO INTEL @MLBFrOfcTakes]

@xwOBA_enjoyer Really good stuff Nathaniel

@hankyklocko @LanceBroz Who was talking about MIL? No bias I’m sure 👍

[FO INTEL @MLBFrOfcTakes]

@hankyklocko @LanceBroz You’re cooked bud

[FO INTEL @MLBFrOfcTakes]

@RBunikiewicz Shannon entropy

[FO INTEL @MLBFrOfcTakes]

@hankyklocko @LanceBroz Fried, Weaver, Schlit, ERC, Warren, King, Nestor the list goes on buddy

[FO INTEL @MLBFrOfcTakes]

@DocEisenhauer Ok, “Doc”

[FO INTEL @MLBFrOfcTakes]

@pirates_at448 @Trevor40878381 @LanceBroz @pitchprofiler No, the smart teams either: a) can give almost every pitcher a good/better pitch b) are so good in their analysis they can identify before acquisition what they can change

[FO INTEL @MLBFrOfcTakes]

@hankyklocko @LanceBroz 🤣

[FO INTEL @MLBFrOfcTakes]

@903124S I see. No it shouldn’t be regressed to the mean. Like FIP, WOBA, xWOBA, etc. it is, at the end of the day, a descriptive metric that happens to be predictive. If you are using it to project pitch type RV then sure do some regression to mean. Otherwise, no.

[FO INTEL @MLBFrOfcTakes]

@903124S 4. ?
5. Should be explicitly

[FO INTEL @MLBFrOfcTakes]

@903124S 1. Doesn’t matter
2. No
3. No

Model should see a pitch as appearing out of a pitching machine or another universe/dimension (besides biomechanical effects, most obviously release characteristics, most commonly used: arm angle, though this is not close to the full picture)
