this is why top line stats are quite deceiving—jonah cox LOOKS great on paper but he's only 17% better than the average player this year if you look at some of his underlying metrics: - over a third of his at-bats are strikeouts (36.4%) which is higher than power hitters like murakami and schwarber - a 5.3% walk rate which leaves him tied for the 10th lowest rate in the league - a .463 babip which is way higher than the mlb average (.300) he's still a demon on the base paths and defensively and outproduced lee on fwar in 1/3 of the games. but his offense, and baserunning value will regress because of those unsustainable metrics without significant contact/discipline improvement next year https://x.com/SleeperSFGiants/status/2100598627542651179?s=20

this is probably the best way to illustrate how important great defense is and how it raises the ceiling of any player - hornsby's triple slash .380 / .459 / .679 with a 172 wrc+ (72% better than the average player) - sosa's triple slash .328 / .437 / .737 with a 186 wrc+ - pca's triple slash .272 / .375 / .581 with a 159 wrc+ between his defense and baserunning, he'll end up posting the highest fwar season in the history of the cubs franchise this year https://x.com/mike_petriello/status/2100576310254792751?s=20

jonah cox’s speed is ridiculous his sprint speed average 30.1 ft/s which is in the 99th percentile of mlb and the same as billy hamilton https://x.com/oungbug/status/2100018360692130154?s=46&t=dGdml54Bn5gAjlxSoZTivg

Just when things were getting interesting again for Giants baseball…that being said these are meaningless games and I’d rather Devers gets healthy for next season. https://x.com/pavlovicnbcs/status/2099212195687235827?s=46

Devers is on fire, making solid contact on anything close to the plate. Honestly suprised teams are still pitching to him during this insane stretch of 11 HR in the last 18 games. https://x.com/mlb/status/2098869817583305164?s=46

nice to see MLB relent and let the Mets & Yankees play with the FDNY / NYPD caps

i always enjoy looking at monthly splits for rookies. it's a great way to see when the league adjusts to them and how they respond the response (ability to make adjustments to adjustments) is a great marker of future success in younger players https://x.com/baseballisdead_/status/2098395959474446677?s=20

i havent watch much of the giants live because i can’t stand sloppy baseball but caught yesterdays game and one small thing really sticks out—eldridge making the cards pay for pitching around devers the giants haven’t had that type of potential protection for big hitters since…bonds/kent days posey had belt/crawford/pence but those guys weren’t 30-40 homer threats. good hitters, but not someone who would really make you think twice about pitching around the giants best hitter it’s early for eldridge and rookies usually see a sophomore slump, but damn is it fun to see now and imagine the future https://x.com/giants__update/status/2097214120873595235?s=46&t=dGdml54Bn5gAjlxSoZTivg
