🚨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?

It's Big Update Day over at the Statcast factory.
First: these slick looking pitch movement (and arm angle!) charts at the top of each player page. You can get context, flip POV, get some different angles.
This is showing IVB. Speaking of which ..

A few smaller things up on Baseball Savant from the great @danabennett while we work on some much bigger things
1) You can do run value/100 pitches now, if you like rate stats. So, best RV/100 on pitch types thrown at least 250 times (baseballsavant.mlb.com/statc…)

On, the leaderboard, @danabennett did a great job showing the huge relationship between distance from 2B for the runner and pop time.

I'm really excited about this feature!
Tons to look into, here's an example of sweeper movement compared to sliders, by all pitchers that have thrown at least 50 of one or the other.

ICYMI yesterday: you can now search on pitch movement numbers at Baseball Savant. Short form, long form, in, out, whatever you like.
So here's batters in 2022-23 who have had to face the most 97MPH pitches that moved at least 10 inches away from them

As well as minifying, obfuscating, and compressing your HTML, CSS, JS, try swapping your double quotes to the much lighter single-quote. #perfmatters

I heard baseball twitter loves pitcher overlays, so I made one. Am I doing this right @PitchingNinja?
Happy Opening Day!

Hello again twitter! Anything new in the last three years?
If you are finding me from SABR, I may dust this account off occasionally, but don’t expect much.
If you are in Phoenix and see me, please say hello!

OK! New Statcast metric time.
We've been thinking a lot about catchers. There's 2 new C metrics in the works. The one out later this month is something you've never seen before. The one that's out right now, today, is our take on catcher blocking.
