Why the Twins Didn't Sign Luis Arraez
Amateur6 replied to Greggory Masterson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Analytics are most valuable in full context. Compared to others, esp Bell, how many pitches does Arraez see? That’s a stat that has great value to a team battery. How many 2-strike pitches? Many of his surplus “poor contact swings” or “swings at balls outside the strike zone” are merely him defending the plate with 2 strikes in place, which he does extremely well. Weak balls in play aren’t a good outcome but numerous fowl balls help the at-bats that follow, and get the starter out sooner.
