This team has a swagger.
Was that the Cobra Clutch hold that Sgt Slaughter used or a sleeper by Adrian Adonis?

We are awesome

EV tends to decrease in the early 20s, stays flat until the early 30s, and then plummets.
High EV guys like Acuna tend to just decline from day 1...a lot like fastball velocity.
The bottom 2 charts are what matter.

I haven’t enjoyed a Braves team this much in years. Freddie, Acuna, Albies, Dansby, Zuk, Neck — they’re all so dang likable!
Ozzie is 13th in entire MLB in fWAR so far. just a little impressive for a 21 year old.

Interesting link; thanks!
High exit velocity guys do see a decrease in exit velocity from day 1, but the author attributed that to possibly coaching (young guys are swing too hard, and are taught to slow it down a bit). On the other hand, when you look at hits that are in the particular sweet spot of launch angle and exit velocity, those increase with an elite hitter through their mid-twenties.

The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
