Ben Lindbergh convenes a roundtable of hitting analysts—Robert Orr from Baseball Prospectus, Esteban Rivera from FanGraphs, and Ryan Parker, formerly of Baseball Prospectus and the Los Angeles Angels—to diagnose the problems with free agent Cody Bellinger’s much-diminished bat and recommend how to revive it. They also discuss their approaches to analyzing hitting, coachability, the differences between public and private hitting analysis, the importance of mashing mistakes, the Angels, and more. Then (1:15:03) Ben closes with a Past Blast from 1934 and a few followups about Bellinger, tweets, and assists on strikeouts.Audio intro: Wednesday, “Cody’s Only”Audio outro: The Killers, “Cody”Link to Dan Szymborski on BellingerLink to story on Bellinger’s shoulderLink to story on Bellinger’s legLink to Chris Gilligan on BellingerLink to Ken Rosenthal on BellingerLink to Prospects Live on BellingerLink to Bellinger vs. Musgrove KLink to Versalles SABR bioLink to SwingGraphsLink to SwingGraphs dataLink to Esteban on AcuñaLink to Esteban on vertical bat angleLink to Robert on crushing cookiesLink to Rosenthal on Angels movesLink to Joon Lee on the Angels systemLink to EW with Clay BellingerLink to 1934 story sourceLink to Biele article seriesLink to story on Ella BlackLink to Jacob Pomrenke’s websiteLink to Jacob Pomrenke on TwitterLink to MLBTR on Harper’s TJLink to Blue Jays tweetLink to Canseco at ViceLink to Canseco on time travelLink to assists story 1Link to assists story 2Link to assists story 3Link to assists story 4 Sponsor Us on PatreonSubscribe to Stathead (Code: WILD20) Facebook Group Twitter Account EW Subreddit Effectively Wild Wiki iTunes Feed (Please rate and review us!)
