Biomechanics and Hitting Labs3D Motion Capture: Teams and external development labs (like Driveline Baseball) use high-speed optical sensors attached to bodies and bats to map every millisecond of a swing or delivery.
Kinetic Chain Analysis: Analysts break down how force transfers from a player's feet through their hips and torso to maximize bat speed or pitch velocity while minimizing stress on ligaments.

Tunneling MetricsPitch Tunneling & Sequencing: Front offices quantify the exact distance and time window where two different pitches (like a fastball and slider) look identical to a hitter, measuring deception rather than just raw spin rate.
Shape and Seam-Shifted Wake: Analytics evaluate how the orientation of the seams as a ball leaves a pitcher's hand alters air pressure, creating unexpected horizontal or vertical movement beyond standard gravity and velocity data.Predictive AI and Roster

Moneyball analytics are old fashioned now, this is more like it these days

Re: Does Jerry even know how to look up stats on the InternetS??
I just got bit by a praying mantis, geez. Not really a bite i guess, a pinch, it hurt! It was big! It was in my bookcase. About three weeks ago i got bit by something, probably a spider, had an alergic reaction so im freaked out by this stuff lately. I guess its rare
A praying mantis bite is very rare and completely non-venomous. If a large species does bite or pinch you out of defense or confusion, it feels like a sharp pinprick or a mild pinch, rarely breaking the skin. They pose no medical danger to humans

Yep the same stare that I got when I said JK was going to be a bust, Colt was overrated and Laz was going to play RF until he was thirty. The smartest guys who think they are the smartest guys in the room usually become the dumbest guys in the room over time.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2026 3:36 pmSure, maybe they should. But its not just a mariner thing. I think you walk into any FO these days and bring up fangraph splits and youd get a cool stare.

Thats because mlb front offices have much more sophisticated ways to analyse players these days than things like home and away splits. With Statcast and AI they can now create entire seasons of a players performance at bat by at bat and apply them to the conditions of any baseball stadium. Thats what they are doing, they arent looking up fangraph splits. The tools have moved way beyond that![]()

Maybe they should just go back to looking at Home/away and T Mobile splits.![]()

They have all that high-tech stuff and still can't figure out why Safeco/T-Mobile is a hitters graveyard? Incredible.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2026 3:43 pmMoneyball analytics are old fashioned now, this is more like it these days

See, Dipoto's dorks could explain all day how unlikely Donn was to get bit by a praying mantis. Then when he gets bit he'd defend them because, on paper, they were right...
