The pitch batters swing under the most?
Jhoan Duran's FF.
But why? It has average vert. The release point isn't particularly high. The velo's elite- batters are late on this pitch the 2nd most in MLB -but is that why guys are under it?
One potential answer: guys looking split

Here are the top 10 misses by miss distance on pitches that ended in the zone (b/w 2023 - 2026).
There's only one on this list from this year and I don't think you'll guess who it's from.

It's here.
And it's glorious.
🚨New metric release day from the Statcast factory at Baseball Savant
How much do pitchers miss the bat by? Is the bat over the ball or under? Tied up, or flailing? Is the batter early? Or late?

The Orioles put up 6 runs in the first.
That's their highest 1st inning total since July 30th, 2023 vs NYY and their highest in the 1st on the road since Aug 12, 2017 @ OAK.

I feel like these are some of the best AB's I've seen the Orioles take against a lefty all year.

Shane Baz's 91.9 in-zone contact% is the highest in MLB of his career.
Of the 102 CBs he's thrown in-zone, hitters have made contact with 95 for a league leading 93%
That said, not all of that contact is hard contact.
Important to get ahead and get his CB out of the zone

JJ Bleday just hit his 10th HR of the season, bringing his SLG up to .673.
Were he to qualify, he would currently lead all of MLB in SLG.
