from Keep or Kut · host Big Pond Podcasts

Keep or Kut - This early in the season, a lot of numbers lie to you, but changes in K-rate, BB-rate and pull percentage for hitters can be telling. Pete (@PeteBBaseball) and Chad (@ChadYoung) look at some of the biggest changes in baseball across those three stats.

Timestamps 3:56 - Five most improved k-rates: Gio Urshela, Joey Wendle, Yordan Alvarez, Alec Bohm, and Javy Báez. The drop in K's for Javy is a surprise, and there are reasons to doubt it's validity. 10:48 - Five biggest increases in strikeout rate: Carson Kelly, Franmil Reyes, Tucker Barnhart, Jarred Kelenic, and Carlos Correa. Should we just wait on Reyes? 14:48 - What to do about Kelenic. 21:14 - Biggest year over year gains in walk rate: Jesus Aguilar, Jesse Winker, Eduardo Escobar, Michael A. Taylor, and Anthony Santander, including a deep dive on Santander and a detour to Alec Bohm. 31:02 - Biggest drops in walk rate: Carson Kelly (again), Shohei Ohtani, Jonathan India, Bryce Harper, and Yasmani Grandal 38:34 - Biggest increases in pull rate: Ryan McMahon, Jurickson Profar, Rhys Hoskins, Charlie Blackmon, and Eric Hosmer. We're not ready to sell Profar. 47:04 - But we aren't buying Hosmer either. 50:39 - Biggest decreases in pull rate: Joey Wendle, Brad Miller, Wil Myers, Andrew McCutchen, and Mike Zunino. Zunino with power is a poor man's Salvador Perez, but otherwise... 58:34 - Anthony Rizzo and the short porch 1:05:05 - Lightning Round!
