Jacob Jarrell bet on himself ahead of his senior season and it translated into a monster year for the Tigers 🚀
.396 OBP | .579 SLG | .975 OPS | 18 HRs
Second Team All-ACC 🏆
Luke Gaffney showed up to Driveline with one goal: get the ball in the air.
Luke finished his second season at @ClemsonBaseball with:
+5 doubles | +4 home runs | +.124 SLG | +.205 OPS
This is what development looks like 📈
Earlier this year, @connerpelletier, @SamEhrlich, and I set out to better understand pitch movement using Driveline's Trajekt machine.
We ended up answering an open question in ball flight physics along the way.

.@TBazzana arrived to pro ball with an incredibly high floor but he's also a great bet to keep raising his ceiling, because of a makeup superpower: rare self-awareness. What that looks like for @DrivelineBB: https://t.co/F8vrWdW2Sf
Congratulations to Will Lambert on earning Second Team All Conference honors!! The fireballer was among the top 15 in strikeouts on the mound. He's come up BIG in important games and made some closeout appearances when needed to shut the opposing team down.

Videos from the SABR conference in March were released on YT. Here's @hedgertronic@connerpelletier presentation on ball flight physics.
Plenty more great presentations on their channel from all the other presenters!

@LanceBroz Huge change! I wonder if this could be aim-driven... the precision hasn't changed a ton but we can see that 50% radius of his misses has shifted closer to his InsideEdge assigned intended target.

Talked to people throughout the game with the following query:
“Why was Dylan Crews ready for the majors now?”
What I heard, and what I think, including tales on swing decisions, self confidence, service time, and a “shiny new car.”
