San Francisco Giants Insights
- Landen Roupp – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)Landen Roupp’s curveball usage has decreased by 13.8% from last year to this one (35.7% to 21.9%) .Explain: Because curveballs are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use them less often may see less success as a result, particularly if he uses his fastball more instead.
- Luis Arraez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)Luis Arraez has experienced some positive variance in regards to his home runs since the start of last season; his 6.6 HR per 600 plate appearances rate is significantly inflated relative to his 0.0 Expected HR/600, based on the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s interpretation of Statcast data.Explain: xHR uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s home run ability more accurately than actual home runs can.
- Harrison Bader – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)Harrison Bader pulls a lot of his flyballs (38.8% — 96th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards baseball’s 4th-deepest LF fences in today’s game.Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
Baltimore Orioles Insights
- Shane Baz – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)Shane Baz’s 96.3-mph fastball velocity since the start of last season ranks in the 89th percentile out of all SPs.Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Taylor Ward – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-180/+135)This year, Taylor Ward’s Barrel% has decreased significantly, dropping from 14.1% last year to just 0% this year.Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
- Collectively, Baltimore Orioles batters rank as the 7th-slowest in baseball at 26.57 ft/sec, via Statcast’s Sprint Speed statistic.Explain: Slow players tend to get fewer hits because they can’t beat out groundballs, fewer extra base hits, and fewer stolen bases.
