The annual SABR Analytics Conference was held over the weekend in Phoenix, Ariz. The MLB Advanced Media Statcast panel, made up of host Mike Ferrin, MLB.com stats analyst Mike Petriello, senior data architect, stats Tom Tango and director of baseball research and development Daren Willman, explain what the Statcast terms, like launch angle, exit velocity, and route efficiency, mean as it relates to the action that happens inside a game. The panel also talks about the future of Statcast and how it will continue to change the game of baseball.

MLB.com's Mike Petriello and Tom Tango break down the six different kinds of batted ball types, expanding from "Barrels" into "Flares and Burners," "Weak Contact," and more, and discuss how to include the difficulty of account for batted balls at the warning track into defensive metrics.

One of the biggest questions at Statcast is how do teams and analysts use it to make defense better. What better way to get that answer than from sabermetrics guru Tom Tango, as he sits down to talk with MLB.com's Statcast host Mike Petriello to discuss this subject on the latest edition of the Statcast Podcast.
