The Data Behind the Double. In a 3-2, 2 out, game deciding moment, Trace Mazon delivered a 2 RBI double that ended up winning the game. Similar pitches in that location end in a whiff or foul ball on 82% of swings. Trace flattened out his vertical attack angle... show more

Corbin Carroll led MLB in ideal attack angle with 68.4% in 2025. That's the % of swings with an attack angle between 5 and 20 degrees (optimal for line drives and hard contact). Not to be confused with launch angle, which is the angle the ball takes off the bat. The whole "round ball, round bat" concept makes that tougher to control. Data and visuals from Baseball Savant/MLB:

Eric Hartman 3/6 with a double, 2 stolen bases and 2 rbis. The ball absolutely explodes off his bat. He catches up to velo (he absolutely destroyed a 96 mph foul ball in his last at bat before the single) and stays back and through the off speed really well. His speed is top end. The way he can drive with his exit velos and his speed and glove already has him up into my top 10 prosects early in the year. .312 with a 1.030 OPS 5 Doubles 1 Triple 8 Home runs 10 Stolen bases in 23 games. And again.....he's only 19 years old.

Fernando Tatis Jr is hitting .242 with a 3.5° average launch angle and a career-low 20% pull rate. Everyone has ideas and analysis on how to fix Fernando Tatis Jr’s swing. It’s pretty awful and I can’t take anymore of this, I have to say something because I haven’t seen a single person give the right answer. I’ve seen multiple people talk about timing mechanisms like toe tap, stride, and leg lift in his swing mechanics that have absolutely nothing to do with his problem. That reverting to past timing mechanisms would somehow help him. THEY ARE ALL WRONG Because they’re all looking in the wrong place. This isn’t a stride problem or timing problem. It’s a tilt problem. Stride, leg lift, and toe tap are timing mechanisms. They control WHEN the hips fire not HOW the bat moves through the zone. A hitter with a Sosa leg kick and a no-stride Ichiro stance can produce identical launch angles.Timing has no lever that touches the bat at contact. What actually sets launch angle is attack angle or the vertical direction the bat is traveling at the moment it meets the ball. Swing up through the zone = ball lifts Swing flat = grounders Swing down = choppers Attack angle is the only mechanical input that matters for elevation and attack angle isn’t random. It’s a direct output of shoulder tilt. When the trail shoulder drops below the lead shoulder at contact, the entire swing axis tilts. The bat is now forced to travel upward through the zone. More tilt > steeper attack angle > higher launch angle. Period. Tatis’s attack angle tells the entire story: 2023: +12° attack angle, +1° pull-side direction/25 HRs 2024 : +10° attack angle. -2° oppo direction 21HRs in 104 games 2025: +8° attack angle, 0° direction/25 HRs, healthy 2026: +5° attack angle, −5° oppo direction His swing has flattened AND drifted away from his pull side. Both are tilt collapse. That −5° oppo attack direction is the giveaway. When you lose tilt, your bat doesn’t just flatten it also gets steered toward the opposite field, because a level swing naturally pushes the barrel away from your pull side. He’s not late. He’s not under-striding. His axis collapsed Over the last few years and it’s worse than ever this year. This explains the 20% pull air rate too. Pulling the ball in the air requires positive attack angle AND a contact point out front. (Ramon Laureanos 2025 attack Angle was +14) If you tinker with timing on a flat swing, an earlier contact point just produces a pull-side grounder. The direction changes. The launch angle does not. Let me break it down for you: Stride > Weight Shift > Hip Rotation >TILT > ATTACK ANGLE > BAT PATH > Contact > Launch Angle Stride is four steps upstream. Tilt is the gate. Attack angle is the output that actually moves the ball. So now we know what’s wrong, how do we fix him? Souza and the Padres staff need to focus on the following; 1.Restore 8–12° rear-high shoulder tilt 2.Get attack angle back to +10° to +12° with neutral or +1° pull direction 3.THEN evaluate timing tweaks 4. If someone is telling him to flatten out his swing or to let the ball travel more PLEASE STOP DOING THAT. That doesn’t work for him You cannot time your way to elevation. Fix the tilt. Attack angle returns. Pull air follows. Please watch the video to see how his swing has gotten worse and flatter. We only have bat path data starting in 2023

With the bases loaded in a one run game with playoff implications, umpire Scott Barry robbed George Springer of a go-ahead double on a bad foul ball call. The very next pitch. umpire Doug Eddings rang up Springer on a pitch well off the plate to end the inning. The Blue Jays lost by 3.

Jacob Wilson has the 3rd slowest bat speed in MLB, a ground ball rate near 60% and a super low attack angle. And yet—he hit two home runs in one game against the Dodgers. What does that say about his skill set? 🤔

This pitch was fouled off down into the ground, or so the Oakland A’s Lawrence Butler thought. The ball hit in the back of the batters box but then skipped out in front of home plate. Butler didn’t run and the Yankees catcher picked it up and tagged him. The umpire ruled Butler out. A couple of things - One, I always thought the back of home plate was the furthest point back for a fair ball. Anything behind that was foul territory. Two- I never knew they had a female umpire in MLB. 🤯 Do you think that was a fair or foul ball? And, did you know MLB had a female umpire? What’s your feeling on that?

Mike White defended Katie Stewart after being asked about her 3 errors in game 1... "If there's a kid that's going to put her body on the line for this team it's going to be Katie Stewart...This is the same kid that nearly knocked that wall over in left field trying to catch a foul ball" He also said that's she's okay after getting hit in the face with the ball in game 2 #HookEm | #Texas

Slicers... Do this drill 100 times a day & there's a high chance you minimise your slice by at LEAST 50% It's hard not to improve after doing this 100 times a day for a week or 2 Place alignment stick 1 club length back behind the ball AND half a foot OUTSIDE the ball line. Angle it so it's the same angle as the club you have in your hands

🚨 Vaibhav didn't get a chance to bat in the nets. He didn't get a chance to face even a single ball in the nets so he was seen practicing with the ball. It's so unfair that the captain of the team is jealous of him and now he is not even getting a chance to bat in the nets.

And here is the second Oneil Cruz play from today's Pittsburgh Pirates at New York Mets game, and on this one (on the next pitch), Cruz loses the ball in the sun, and there is a large provision in the OS Scoring Manual on "Sun and Slips", and you don't penalize a fielder for losing the ball in the sun on a ball that is hit. Interestingly, a fielder doesn't get sun/slip protection on a throw, just a ball that is hit, so this was correctly ruled a double. #LetsGoBucs #LGM

India needed 31 of 12, Dhoni hit a six on first ball and everyone thought he'll pull off the game but on very next ball when 25 were needed of 10 and ,he just defended a slot ball ,everyone was in disbelief and on the next ball called for a double but didn't dive and got run out

2 back to back pitches in the zone called a ball because the check swing glitch where he would’ve struck out ended up with a hit and then a 3 run 🕯️😂😂 #ThatsJustBaseball

A fan just interfered with a ball that could have potentially been a home run and tied the game for the Reds (-170 ML). It was ruled a double and they ended up losing in extra innings.

Former 49ers QB Josh Johnson revealed he got a brain bleed and 2 concussions during the NFCCG against the Eagles “Most people don’t know that I was double concussed in that game. The first sack I took was the play action pass and Haason Reddick came off the edge and hit me. My head hit the ground and I actually lost the ball on that play. I ended up with a brain bleed.” Josh’s thoughts heading into the game: “I’m looking at this game like an Oakland kid who grew up a 49ers fan, I’m in the NFC Championship, I’m trying to win this game and get to the Super Bowl. This is a dream come true.” via: Ross Tucker Podcast
