    Remember kids, the strike zone is NOT a 2D box at the front of the plate. And the strike zone is NOT based on a batter's historical stance.

    Great line from Passan: The average bat speed for the best hitter in the major leagues this season, Shohei Ohtani: 75.4 mph. The average bat speed for the worst hitter in the major leagues this season, Javier Baez: 75.4 mph.
    Bat-tracking data is here, and it's the sort of thing that's going to change how people understand -- and evaluate -- hitting. Free at ESPN: A cursory analysis on the trove of data, featuring Stanton, Arráez, Soto, Contreras and some who aren't so good: espn.com/mlb/story/_/id…

    Puig was 45 feet from 1B when Kinsler threw the ball. At his seasonal Sprint Speed of 28.3 ft/s, he was 1.6 seconds away. Throw was about 100 feet away. A 70mph throw takes 1.1 seconds to reach its target. Kinsler had up to 0.5 more seconds, or about 14 more feet of Puig running

    If by "controversial rulings" you mean applied the rule exactly as written and with the intent of the rule, then that's a weird way to say "controversial".
    oh this is going to be one of the most controversial rulings in World Series history

    Depending when you start the clock, this is either the worst fielding play, or the best fielding play, of the season. And it's only Day 1. #CatchProbability

    You can always tell when someone is a 20's something Yankees fan...
    Genuinely, bias aside, is this the most impressive piece of hitting in MLB history? 100 MPH. Late movement. Sooooo far inside. The moment. The ability to barrel it and keep it fair. I don’t think anyone in MLB history does that except Aaron Judge.

    #Statcast Aging Curve for Swing Speed I wouldn't pay too much attention to very left of chart. I'd just treat it swing speed is roughly flat until roughly age 31. After that, drop is quick Which makes sense with everything we know. We didn't know the magnitude. Now we do.
