How is he making bats late?
How is this not Miller or Mizorowski or Paul schemes or whatever?
And I think what we're doing is starting to scrape the surface of deception here.
Everybody knows the way he throws from down by the mound.
Everybody knows he's got this weird alien slider that breaks up and not down.
And while the fastball by itself isn't necessarily a special pitch, it's an outlier.
And if guys can't time up 82, and we can show that he's making them late more than anybody else in baseball, I do think we're going to get to a little bit of
Oh, well now we're quantifying some deception because obviously that's his entire game is being weird.
And this is sort of how it pays off.
you don't mostly i mean i think in schneider's case it's maybe less about height more about just having a great eye like he rated very well in triple a last year in abs uh graded out pretty well this year in the majors too maybe not in like a number of overturns but some of the advanced metrics which take into the account the context of you know challenges you didn't make or what's the position of the ball and all this kind of stuff so i just think he's got a really good eye right i know the batting line for the blue jays was not strong but the eye has always been there
And to some extent, we are talking about nine games and anybody can put up a weird line over nine games.
But he has a 615 on base and a 42% walk rate because he's essentially not swinging.
And the only place he's swinging is in the heart of his own.
And I think you can do that when you are too good for the level.
I think that's what's happening here, right?
Like his batting eye.
is too advanced for AAA.
The rest of the tool set, hard to say how that's going to work out, right?
Maybe he's a quad A guy in the end, not quite good enough for the majors, too good for AAA.
But seeing a guy with an advanced batting eye like that go down to the minors and just spit on absolutely everything until he gets the one pitch he wants to hit.
