    Was that the Cobra Clutch hold that Sgt Slaughter used or a sleeper by Adrian Adonis?

    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.

    Well, guess you can't quote twitter stuff...

    Last night marked the #Braves fifth win this season in their final at bat of the game,

    and their 42nd since Brian Snitker took over as manager two years ago

    (most in the NL over that span)
    The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
