@TewksHitting I would say so but for any metric there is a standard parameters of throughput but intent is hard to define/prove I’m hard pressed to see it as a consistent measure. I agree you questioning validity of this metric but that’s why there are human at the controls of the game, right?
@TewksHitting I may be totally off but this metric sounds like a measure of approach. Even bad decisions have good results at times. That being said if an approach score, the metric in question, is high we expect better results (execution). Good approach brings good result even on bad decision

@JasonDillinger4 College program latest trends: tweeting that your actively recruiting from the transfer portal… who’s really misplacing value in that avenues original intention? Who’s really the problem if we give kids an out every time they have to face a little adversity?
Okay, this may break baseball twitter……
I get it, you don’t want to bunt, you want to hit.
As a coach, I want you to hit too! However, you strikeout way too much with runners on, and you don’t know how to move runners over to score runs making productive outs.
Getting runners over and getting them in is how we score runs. Scoring runs is how we win games. I’ve tried to teach you this, but your response of “I hit dingers“ shows me you’re not buying in. (Also, you’ve never hit a dinger, like maybe two times in BP on the small field.)
So, when you come up with less than two outs am I going to take my chances of your 1-5 chance you get a hit and move the runner? OR, and this is controversial am I going to take the 4-5 chance to move the runner over, and force the defense to make a play so we can score runs and win the game?
If you don’t want to bunt, become a great contact hitter, limit your strikeouts and learn to hit behind the runner.
Stop this 💩 of saying bunting sucks. No, strikeouts suck. A strikeout is not productive in any way other than we no longer have to watch your bad at bat.
@nextlevelbb Would imagine volume plays a huge part in injury opportunity as well. The torsional forces may not be as great due to arm speed but I would venture to guess volume plays a very large part.
Watching hitters CONTINUOUSLY swing aimlessly at the first pitch and continually pop out to the infield or ground out weakly is an indication of: A selfish hitter and/or a dumb hitter and/or a hitter that isn't very good. 1st pitch swings should be CRUSHED more often than not!
