GDT: Braves @ Mets 5/1 Game 1 of Doubleheader

The Mets are maybe the only team I've seen get consistently good at-bats against Strider. It's really damn frustrating but so impressive.
 
It's his underlying peripherals. Like, he's not getting lucky. His play is very real.

I mean I don't expect him to rock a .400 BABIP all season but I do expect that ISO to jump close to .300 for the remainder of the season. He's been lifting the ball more the last week so I expect the homers to start coming in bunches.
 
I went and looked at Ronald's BABIP expecting it to be really high still. It's high but not all that high. It's .395 which is about 60 points higher than expected. So his numbers are pretty solid and not hugely inflated by luck.

That's backed up with the expected data. Avg of .352 with an xBA of .344, SLG of .546 with an xSLG of .630, and a wOBA of .427 with a xwOBA of .451.

Acuna appears to have found another level.

It's the K rate. Striking out only 14% while hitting the ball as hard as he does and also taking a good amount of walks. It's pretty special.
 
I couldn't post, but I really do wish when Strider K's Nimmo again (he will), he should just sprint to first to get the ball from Olson when it gets around to him.
 
I really wish Strider would just use his change more. The one to Nimmo was unfair. gotta give these hitters something else to think about,
 
Spencer probably isn't going to make it four innings at this rate. This is pretty terrible pitching by him, which is rare and makes me sad. Velo and location are both very off.

And no, I don't think it's an injury. lol
