I'm excited. fun stuff. I love the starting position stuff and how they got rid of positions basically. And though there are all sorts of complex things going on, really you can break it down in a very simple way and one that's easy to convey. " this play below was considered to have a mere 10% chance of being converted into an out, since Carlos Correa had just 1.5 seconds to move 12 feet, then had to get the ball 147 feet to first base before Aaron Judge, who possesses above-average sprint speed (28.2 ft/sec), could get there."

I'd love to see some statcast stuff on guys like ozzie smith or rey ordonez or barry bonds.



You would need a million 3.5" floppy disks (literally) to hold the amount of data generated in a day by MLB.

The technology was being tested ten years ago but was sent back to the drawing board after they found they were unable to register any movement at all on ground balls to short in yankee stadium.
