Statcast is the latest statistical revolution to hit Major League Baseball. We have started to see it become much more visible during in-game broadcasts and teams use it as a basis of evaluation. While not all of the data is accessible to fans, BaseballSavant.com is being updated constantly with new features and measurements.
Still, while many of the metrics are new, they are providing a different way to look at the game. The goal is often to separate the signal from the noise through batted ball data.
With that said, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at what Statcast had to say about the Braves’ hitters through the first quarter of the season.
