They talk about what all of these new numbers mean and what they're actually calculating. There's miss distance, the distance between bat and ball on a whiff, and there are dimensions to where to bat is in relation to the ball. Is the ball in on the hands of the bat or off the end? Is the bat on time or late? And is the bat over or under the ball? Then, they talk about what they know so far, with differences in certain pitch types and counts leading to different results. The two discuss how they look at new data, getting into what they look for and how they learn. Finally, Kyle talks about where he wants to see these new numbers go and how they can potentially be implemented going forward.

The Approach Angle Nate Schwartz (@_nateschwartz) and Kyle Bland (@blandalytics) are joined by Alex Chamberlain to talk approach angles and pitch movement. This week, Nate and Kyle hop into the world of pitch movement, and Alex Chamberlain joins the discussion as one of the key researchers on approach angles. They start with the foundation of pitch movement—what causes movement, how pitches move, and the topline concepts of movement. They transition to discussing the required context for all pitch movement numbers. This revolves around arm angle and other physical characteristics, such as extension and release point, which explain why the fastball deadzone is actually dynamic. Finally, the group talks approach angles, as they explain vertical approach angle and horizontal approach angle. Vertical approach angle is powerful in understanding fastball performance, and both approach angles are most effective on the edges of the strike zone.

The Approach Angle Nate Schwartz (@_nateschwartz) and Kyle Bland (@blandalytics) talk about four hitters who are doing something new. After spending the last couple of weeks building up the analytical toolkit on the hitting side, the two investigate hitters who are doing something new—for better or worse. They start with Gunnar Henderson's struggles, looking at how his swing has changed from past years and the effect that has on his decision-making. Then, they look at Munetaka Murakami's breakout season and talk about how his approach is sustainable despite an exceptionally high whiff rate. After that, they take a stab at why Fernando Tatis Jr. has no home runs and project what he'll look like for the rest of the season and beyond. Finally, they evaluate Jordan Walker's breakout season, and why a bunch of small changes are going a long way.

This week on Hacks & Jacks, Scott and Brett discuss all the injury and call-up transactions around the league, including whether any of the most recent prospects could have fantasy value or if they're all just names in the wash. St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker just keeps hitting, and just keeps rising up the hitter ranks. Meanwhile, Samuel Basallo has firmly supplanted Adley Rutschman as the catcher to roster in Baltimore. Scott has removed a bunch of Mets from the list, including third baseman Mark Vientos. And he tells you why.
