    Grading Snit Jr's First 2 Weeks

    I do not agree that Bummer has platoon splits big enough to care about and treat him like a LOOGY. Now whether we should be giving him high leverage innings, worth discussing.

    GDT 3/31/26: Braves vs A’s - Hooray for Jose

    Is there any reason to believe the guy making those charts has any idea what he is talking about? I scrolled down to the next post as he gave Ohtani a similar “B-/D+/D” grade for his sIx shutout innings.

    GDT 3/30/26: Braves vs A’s - Good Elder or Bad Elder

    Conceptually, changeups and splitters aren’t really that different—they are different grips doing the work of slowing down spin rate. Bryce is definitely still throwing a change. But you are correct that the new spin rate is closer to traditional splitter territory than his previous change...

    GDT 3/30/26: Braves vs A’s - Good Elder or Bad Elder

    Guess I wasn’t paying that close attention in the spring, but Bryce has significantly ramped up his change up. That’s a pretty noticeable change in spin rate.

    2026 : Around the League

    Tom Glavine was putting up 4 WAR seasons at age 39 after they had Questec in place and the strike zone changed as a result. If the strike zone had changed earlier, he would have changed along with it because he was a tremendous pitcher.
