We're going, you know, miss distance, right?
So what is the distance that batters are missing pitches or pitchers are making them miss?
And I know this is going to be one of those things where it's like, well, it's a strikeout.
Why do I care about how much the distance is?
It's kind of the same thing for if it's a home run, why do I care about how far the home run went, you know?
To some extent, it's just fun.
It's fun to know.
But to some extent, it's also about evaluation, too.
If you're a pitcher and you are missing the bat by a lot, well, maybe you feel pretty confident about siding that pitcher, knowing that even if he declines, there's still some wiggle room there, as opposed to a guy who's only just barely getting those swing and misses by like a half an inch, and you're worried that he's walking the tightrope.
So you'd be stocked to know that the number one guy in terms of which pitcher and pitch
by the most is Mason Miller and his slider.
Guys are not coming within eight inches or so of that pitch, which is amazing.
The Blue Jays early to pick is this.
So you can take that and you can add some directionality to it, right?
You could say, okay, well, who's missing above the bat or below the bat?
Who's missing it on the hands or at the end of the bat or timing, right?
Who's missing early or late, right?
Who's making batter the latest if it's a fastball or earliest if it's an off-speed pitch.
And I was stunned to find this.
No pitcher in pitch type in baseball makes batters late more often than Tyler Rogers, which is wild because you're thinking to yourself, wait a minute, this guy throws 82.
