Great example of old vs. new values By the... eye test, this is a marvelous catch, the kind fans are glad they paid money to see By analytics, this had an 85% catch probability per The WARmonger & only looked hard because of a bad jump Is it good or bad?show more

This is the kind of play that eye testers... have a hard time with, but also shows why catch probability is so useful. This ball had just a 55% catch probability, and is just made to look so easy by Ceddanne Rafaela. It's all about what you don't see on the screen, because it happens before the camera is on the play. The jump is 9.0 feet above average. He was positioned well into right-center. Lesser outfielders win catch on the week on this one with a full extension dive.show more

This Wyatt Langford catch from yesterday is a great... example of why catch probability is good to know. Just a 45% catch probability here. Why? Any MLB outfielder catches this ball if they get there. Most can't get there. Langford's jump is elite, +8.7 feet above the average outfielder. The jump is so good he doesn't even have to get up to top speed. This is just a routine double into the gap much of the time, and the TV viewer thinks nothing of it:show more

Yesterday's best outfield catch! Just a 45% catch probability.... Looks like a routine play, no? Why is it so special? Because of what happens before the camera is on PCA. This is why the eye test is poor for fielding. A +10.7 feet jump, just remarkable, allows him to cruise to the ball, covering 77 feet in 4.2 seconds. Jump is player movement in the first three seconds from pitch release. Most MLB outfielders don't catch this one, and many who do are diving...show more

Not to be a hater right now but this... play had an 85% catch probability. Freeman has picked it up with the bat and its great to see but I do not think he is a centerfielder at all.show more

Absurd catch yesterday by Jacob Young of the Nationals.... Just 2% catch probability on this one from Statcast (rounds up to 5%). Why doesn't it look that hard for Young? His jump was one of the best of the year, over 12 feet above average.show more

This play had a 0% catch probability and a... 0% catch actuality (but only just barely)! Pete Crow-Armstrong is going to spoil the curve for lesser outfielders!show more

Michael Harris II with the diving grab this evening... in Atlanta: 80% catch probability. Why did it look so tough? -5.3 feet below average on the jump, and that's against all OF, not just CF. Tough sun for sure. The broadcast with an excellent theory, they cut to Andruw Jones with "he's probably saying he catches this standing up"! Still a fun catch and exciting finish. Please don't think you're not allowed to love a catch because of what the metrics are. Harris II always tends to catch the ball, the most important thing!show more

I really want Noelvi Marte to be good in... CF, but this was pretty rough. Took a step in. Then kind of never sprinted. His average sprint speed is 29 feet/per second. On this play, it was just 26.8. MLB had it as an 80% catch probability for him.show more

Per Statcast, a 90% catch probability here for #Orioles... right fielder Heston Kjerstad on this leadoff double by Mariners' J.P. Crawford in the bottom of the 5th inning:show more

Pete Crow-Armstrong is a wizard in CF! Two plays!... 🧵 Play One: How good is PCA? This ball (a single) had a ZERO PERCENT catch probability! He covered an insane 43 feet in his "jump", and the play didn't even last long enough to be considered a full jump!show more

This ball had a 99% catch probability. Heston Kjerstad... had -11.7 feet of jump (😬), then took a circuitous route at 18.1 f/os to get to the general area of where this Salvador Perez "double" finally left a crater.show more

The TNF broadcast only showed one angle of this... catch by the Falcons. It's hard to tell but it looks like the receiver does not survive the fall and secures the catchshow more

This is an example of a GREAT throw with... GOOD mechanics by Bryce Underwood last season. -Drops back -Steps up in the pocket. -Makes the throw to Anthony Simpson for a 30+ yard gain. We will see more of this in 2026.show more

KATSEYE breaks down the variety of ways ‘Gnarly’ can... be used by definition (good or bad) and Manon lets it be known that Tesla is definitely the BAD kind of gnarly #KATSEYE KATSEYEshow more

I just noticed that Andy Pages has a new... "best catch of the year" according to catch probability, and it's a great example of how watching the advanced stats can tell you things you won't get from watching on TV. This was the last play of the game last Wednesday. Bogaerts hit the ball 102.3 MPH at a 15° launch angle, and Pages covered 45 feet in 2.9 seconds and did it so efficiently he didn't even have to leave his feet. Statcast has it at just a 5% catch probability.show more
