Guardians Find Offense in Texas and What We Can Learn From New Statcast Metrics

The Guardians hitting with runners in scoring position in May has been abysmal. We crunched the numbers on the differences between April and May, and just in time, the Guardians found some better hitting luck in Texas in game one of this series. We dig into game one of the series and how lights out the bullpen was, especially Nick Sandlin. We also talk about how the Guardians may need to adjust the lineup with Steven Kwan out. Also explored is Statcast new batter swing metrics, including swing speed, swing length and more, and what we learned about them and what we learned about Guardians hitters from it all. And finally, we touched on some MLB Draft stuff, including some of Travis Bazzana's swing metrics, an observation about Charlie Condon's possible weaknesses and, how home run records are being broken all over the country in college this year. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PolicygeniusCheck life insurance off your to do list in no time with Policygenius.
