Without looking up, I’d have to agree it’s Acuna … wish I could remember how many he had … 15 or more maybe? Kelenic had a flurry of them initially but doubt it’s him.. I give!! Acuna with 16 and he hasn't played since 5/26 |

Pfffffffffffttttttt.
Acuna was already slow. Imagine how much slower he'll be now after this injury.
Yea, you could almost mistake him for Ozuna running down the line... |

Is there a point you’re trying to make? That page says this: “Sprint Speed is Statcast’s foot speed metric, defined as “feet per second in a player’s fastest one-second window” on individual plays.” That seems like a very weird thing to care about. Wouldn’t we rather know how fast each player can run over a given distance? Like 40 yards or 100 yards? Why would anyone care what the fastest one second is during a run? That chart says Riley is higher than Acuna. For that one second window. Ok. |

It's actually 94 pitches average in 5.85 innings, to be precise.

A nice history of blisters? And what most, if not all GM's look at... an innings eater? That gets you $142 to $160m... Knock yourself out. |

I agree, a stat that lists home to 1st or something like that would be better. |

This guy needs to go back to the mountains....and I would know. Guess that didn't make any sense. I posted in the wrong place......was talking about Marsh on the Phillies. |

A nice history of blisters? And what most, if not all GM's look at... an innings eater? That gets you $142 to $160m... Knock yourself out. Most all the good pitchers these days is right around 6 innings. I think Wheeler and Nola are like 6.15 -6.2. That equals about 6 innings and 1/2 out. Fried averages about 5 innings and 2 1/2 outs. So Fried is about 1 out per game less i.e. 1/3 of an inning. |

If that is important how did Wheeler get $42M for pitching 1 out more/game? Fried will get what he gets but I doubt 1 out less pitched/game will make much difference. |
