I’d like to take a moment and let everyone know I (Geoff) experienced victory for the first time with my little league team. Yes, the 0-7 Blue Pickles are now 1-7 as we beat our rivals from the far more affluent town next to ours. Why am I telling you this? I’m an oversharer and I need to overshare my excitement.

Blah, blah, blah. Do you even read this? No you don’t, you never read this. You skip over these words and immediately look at the names below. Maybe you read the blurbs, maybe you look at the stats. I don’t know what you do but I ask. Wash your hands and cover your month when you sneeze. I mean what are you a savage?

The Minor League Daily Sheet:  May 5th, 2021 - Max Meyer Day!

Another day, another butt load of games and minor league standouts to focus on. The first question we got after publishing installment one was “Are you going to do this everyday?” The answer is simple; we’ll try! We’ll try to keep up the cadence of daily, but I make no promises! Anyway, the breakfast burrito is warm and I’m deleting all mentions of Wander Franco’s launch angle until he has a 50% groundball rate and twitter decides we were right again. Those are the rules boys, I don’t make them.

Utilizing Minor Graphs to Evaluate a Hitter's Approach

Utilizing Minor Graphs to Evaluate a Hitter's Approach

Minor Graphs is one of the statistical tools presented by Prospects Live that we use in conjunction with our player evaluation process. It’s also a fantastic rabbit hole to fall down if you’ve got some time to burn or real life obligations to avoid! Often times, you will find Minor Graphs employed to look at a hitter’s average estimated flyball distance, to review at 30-day rolling averages of certain statistics to discern profile changes, and to study batted ball information and spray charts. Today, let’s look at another way you can utilize Minor Graphs to help you evaluate a player’s plate approach; batting splits by ball-strike count using the Minor Graphs ‘splits tool’.
