Contact quality · MLB · September 25
Barrels and hard contact, against what the league does.
Munetaka Murakami has barrelled 19.2% of his batted balls this season across 540 plate appearances — about 2.56x the league rate of 7.5%. His hard-hit rate is 56%.
James Wood has barrelled 19% of his batted balls this season across 610 plate appearances — about 2.53x the league rate of 7.5%. His hard-hit rate is 58.6%.
Shohei Ohtani has barrelled 16.6% of his batted balls this season across 606 plate appearances — about 2.21x the league rate of 7.5%. His hard-hit rate is 52.3%.

Times through the order · MLB · September 25
How deep a starter goes before the bullpen takes over.
Noah Cameron does not miss many bats, but he pitches long enough that the strikeouts add up anyway. Only 7.8 per nine innings — quiet on paper — but 6 innings a start over his last 15, and he routinely faces the lineup a third time.
Brayan Bello does not miss many bats, but he pitches long enough that the strikeouts add up anyway.
Cristopher Sánchez both misses bats and pitches deep, so the rate and the opportunity point the same way.
3 more starters measured in the app.
Bullpen usage · MLB · September 25
Who has been overworked and who is rested. Relief innings across the last three days.
Houston Astros's bullpen has covered 20.0 innings across 13 relief appearances in the last 3 days, including heavy usage on back-to-back nights. A pen carrying that workload is short on leverage arms, and the innings fall to whoever is left — which tends to show up late rather than early.
Kansas City Royals's bullpen has covered 18.1 innings across 12 relief appearances in the last 3 days, including heavy usage on back-to-back nights.
Detroit Tigers's bullpen has thrown just 6.2 innings over the last 3 days across 6 appearances. Everyone should be available, including the back-end arms, so late innings are as strong as this pen gets.
7 more bullpens measured in the app.
Pitch matchups · MLB · September 25
Hitters against the specific pitches tonight's starter actually throws, measured against their own baseline.
Jarren Duran is a safer bet to put the ball in play tonight than he usually is, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 16% of the time against the kind of pitches Clay Holmes throws, compared with 28% against everyone else — 11 points better.
Alika Williams is a safer bet to put the ball in play tonight than he usually is, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. Based on 61% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
Evan Carter is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it.
9 more hitters measured in the app.
Park factors · MLB · September 25
How tonight's parks play against a neutral one.
Oracle Park — hr graveyard (Savant 3yr): HR 78, hits 100, K 97. Fly balls die here — power props and overs are a tougher sell.
T-Mobile Park — whiff park (Savant 3yr): HR 96, hits 89, K 118. Strikeouts run hot — pitcher K overs and unders lean up.
Yankee Stadium — power park (Savant 3yr): HR 117, hits 95, K 103. Balls carry — HR props and overs get a real nudge here.

College findings · College football · September 25
Points per hundred yards, turnovers and yards per play across today's card.
Howard Bison @ Rutgers Scarlet Knights is not an FBS-vs-FBS fixture. Whatever either side has done so far, this game will not tell you much about them, and the result should be discounted when it appears in next week's form.
Every one of UAB Blazers's 3 games has come against FBS opposition and none was a 28+ point blowout, so their whole sample carries full weight. A 1-2 record built this way is stronger evidence than the same record built on a soft opening month.
Indiana Hoosiers are 3-0 across 3 games, but only 1.64 of those carry full weight — 1 came against non-FBS opposition and 3 were decided by 28+ points. Their per-game numbers describe a schedule, not a team.
