Yankees get All-Star OF Benintendi from Royals The Yankees acquired All-Star outfielder Andrew Benintendi from the Royals on Wednesday night, it was announced.

NYY already traded the Yankee Way to KC a few years ago. I’ll see myself out. www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

Why is ability in scare quotes?

Will the QO exist?

It’s not great. But those 300 thoughts have to be offloaded somewhere when they’re not vomited onto Teams 🤷‍♂️

It was getting pretty bad, so I cut down to now 81 across 3 windows on my work laptop.

Come apply to work with a great team of data scientists at the Pirates!

My thought would be that based on the fact that high 4sFB typically get less ride, the Z break that Mahle is getting in those locations is absurd.

Just noticed that Orioles prospect Reed Trimble is 41 for 41 stealing bases in his MiLB career, which is honestly incredible. It's the most SB without a CS in the Fangraphs MiLB leaderboard database by a huge margin: www.fangraphs.com/leaders/mino...

My eval weighting must be much more talent/skills centric vs track record than most, because the Crochet deal seems great for BOS to me. Even if he’s injured for 1/2 the deal, a Top 5 most talented SP in baseball for his entire prime is worth 170m by a large margin in the current baseball economy.

Good guess but no.

Player-level correlation. Y axis? 👀 🤔

while Jake Burger, JD Martinez and Jose Altuve tend to remain more closed.

Corey Seager and Jose Ramirez typically open up their front foots towards the pitcher at the intercept point (of the bat and ball)...

In contrast, Aaron Judge does not gain much ground with his front foot from release to intercept, though his foot is farther forward than in his batting stance.

New data so not 100% sure this is correct, but it seems like Corbin Carroll "gains the most ground" with his front foot from pitch release to intercept point, measured using the front heel.

Calling my shot: Chris Rembert will be a 1st rounder

I also think that a significant part of a secondary’s effectiveness remains its synergy with the FB (which is obvs baked in to models as well) and a hypothetical “expected” movement profile might coincide with higher synergy.

Will Dion averaging 92 with 19ish IVB seems good. He seems to fit in the Eli Morgan bucket of 'switch pitchability guy to bullpen for a tick or two' imo.

round(better_than, 0) but 2000 feels good.

Lefties are no longer underrated by Stuff+! Handedness is (a form of) deception. Great stuff from @enosarris.bsky.social, @choicefielder.bsky.social and the whole Stuff+ team.
