Statcast is taking the world by storm! Or maybe it’s not, I don’t have the best feel for these things sometimes. Anyway, statcast is the thing that MLB has debuted that will tell you things like what the speed of the ball when it was hit was, a vague sort of route efficiency model for an outfielder on a fly ball, how often something is caught or is a hit. Things like that. As raw data goes, it’s all very fascinating, and I am a proponent of having advanced and cool shit in Major League Baseball.
Buuuuuuuuuuuut....
It is just that.
