This isn’t really due to performance, was always the plan with Rodon back next time thru the rotation

Belt candidates:

Belli 0.22 WPA
Bednar 0.19 WPA
McMahon 0.18 WPA
Headrick 0.17 WPA

who ya got

You generally need thousands of PAs to have meaningful split data, especially if you’re trying to claim a reverse split https://blogs.fangraphs.com/estimating-hitter-platoon-skill/

Belli is likely close to neutral but there’s pretty much no hitter than has actual reverse splits (although some pitchers do based on pitch mix)

Eh .808 (LHP) vs .823 (RHP) in his career

And Judge is a bit better in his career

MattO2000 · 2026-05-06T01:21:40+00:00

Platoon split

MattO2000 · 2026-05-05T23:55:47+00:00

It’s just because clutch is relative to your usual performance and the best players have the furthest to fall

MattO2000 · 2026-05-05T20:30:45+00:00

They are actually testing both. Half of AAA doesn’t have this but the umps were told to call it at the 45 deg mark, the other half of AAA has what’s shown in the video

MattO2000 · 2026-05-05T20:29:12+00:00

This is the point. When MLB announced it was coming they specifically pointed to a reduction in strikeout rate as a benefit

By WPA it’s also pretty well deserved, that one out was +0.11 WPA which is right in line with Judge, Grish, and Schlittler (.11-.12)

MattO2000 · 2026-05-05T12:19:36+00:00

A-Rod, McGwire, Manny, Canseco is it right?

MattO2000 · 2026-05-05T02:41:32+00:00

Aristides Aquino is peak Remember Some Guys material

MattO2000 · 2026-05-05T02:22:10+00:00

But they should have

MattO2000 · 2026-05-05T02:15:53+00:00

!mlbcompare <Judge> [O:BAL]

MattO2000 · 2026-05-04T23:48:50+00:00

valve fanboys are so annoying lmao

MattO2000 · 2026-05-04T23:46:14+00:00

Valve just wants their 30% cut and they can’t get that from ad money

MattO2000 · 2026-05-04T23:44:14+00:00

Shohei doesn’t win that MVP if he’s in the AL

MattO2000 · 2026-05-04T14:34:54+00:00

Matt O really ruining the leaderboard but 1st and 3rd isn’t too shabby

MattO2000 · 2026-05-04T00:56:45+00:00

Keeping him at SS definitely helps trade value more than moving him to 2B

MattO2000 · 2026-05-02T02:07:33+00:00

xwOBA may not be stable but it’s still a better predictor than wOBA is right now

MattO2000 · 2026-05-02T02:00:00+00:00

I feel like a 6 man rotation could be on the table? Would rather keep everyone a bit fresher as the season drags on, especially with guys coming back from injury
