Hey everyone!
One day I was looking at some players' stats and I stumbled across Kevin Gausman's profile. This took me down a confusing rabbit hole that I still kinda don't understand. Kevin Gausman's 2022 season has started in a historic way, but it's simultaneously very confusing.

I'm an Oriole fan and it was just so frustrating watching such a talented guy struggle as much as he did for us. He'd look good and then throw a 5 or a 4.6 ERA season afterward. Always had nasty stuff, he went to another level with SF. It sucks watching these guys blow up when they leave, same thing with Arrieta.

@one-mangarageband70 Год назад

And Strop. And hellickson. And David Hernandez. And Dylan Bundy. And you could possibly make a Case for Koji Uehara and Alex Cobb, and for a few years there, fellow Oriole-Turned-Cub Jason Hammel. I don’t know if it’s rotten luck or they’re just lacking in the pitching development department, but man, they’ve missed so many times. Sad

@quintman15 Год назад

As a long time MN Twins fan, I feel the same way. It sucks watching players with potential never quite realize it until after they leave. David Ortiz, Aaron Hicks, Ryan Pressly, to name a few

@skrubgod Год назад

I was doing a bit of research on why the Giants' defense is the worst in MLB this year, especially with the defensive lineup not being too different from last year, and this video kinda explains it very well. The pitch selection from Gausman this year may be different but the philosophy is the same from when he was with the Giants: prevent barrels and produce low launch angles. Kinda seems like the kind of contact allowed that would result in this are balls that takes a lot of effort to field, especially with a velocity that allows balls to just land in no man's land. While yes this doesn't completely explain both the Giant's struggles on defense nor Gausman's season overall, I find the similarities between the two to not be a coincidence.

@Arden2000 Год назад

Super glad someone made a video like this. It was surprising to me how it felt like every baseball fan went to bat for Carlos Rodon as an all-star snub while not Gausman got no attention (despite the two having very similar numbers). Also, I've watched probably 80% of Blue Jay games so far this year so I knew about the high babip, team shift rate etc., but the batted ball stuff you featured in this video was new to me and super interesting. It's really impressive in general how you always find stuff to talk about that feels both fresh and engaging. Easily one of the top 3 baseball content creators on YT

If he gets the job done then so be it, as long as runs don’t cross the plate! He’s great from the stretch & getting guys out when it matters most, at least in recent history, but he’s been balling since I started watching him in college at LSU. He’s always had great stuff. In college, he had what he considered a 1-seam fastball.

@Blackmallowtube Год назад

Most comparisons are between full seasons vs up-until-now anomalies. Regression to the mean will probably happen and things will become less extreme for Gausman (like the Blue Jays not using the shift anymore with him pitching, as an example). That being said, we are 2/3s of the season through...

@danielbergks Год назад

Do you think this could be due to batting approach? Would be interesting to look at count breakouts. With only two pitches that are thrown relatively hard, maybe it's easier to flare the ball or just slap it up the middle or the opposite field.

@samsonfolk2946 Год назад

Great video, with awesome research. Blake Murphy's baseball show in Toronto did a deep dive on this a little while back and they found that the shift + players sitting back on the splitter/fastball break meant players were going the other way a lot. They've actually stopped shifting behind Gausman now! Really interested to see how this shakes out the rest of the season.

@SportStorm23 Год назад

That’s very interesting, definitely makes sense

@ihatesnowflakes2537 Год назад

Problem with relying on your splitter is you just gotta lay off the low pitches to avoid it and look for the fastball. Pete walker has got kevin using the 4 seam low to try and confuse hitters mixing the changeup in aswell here and there i think if he used his slider once in a bit too he would be ok hes gonna have a good season i really believe

@haroldrandall7942 Год назад

baseball is like my 2nd or 3rd favorite sport and have just become familiar with *some* of the stats and this video made me realize just how deep it goes. I had to pause and rewind so many times that I turned a 12 minute video into a 45 minute experience. I believe it is a good thing to have all these different stats, and its just fun. But i couldnt help but think of the line "if you have 2 of something (stats in this case) do you really have 1?"

@ethanstein42 Год назад

You should do a video next on Sandy Alcantara's season too, the kid is a beast.

@NighthawkScope Год назад

Very interesting video. Seems to me like the shift along with Gausman using two pitches that drop (split and change) allow him to both induce less than solid contact while finding holes through the infield. In addition, the split and change keep HR and fly balls low which contributes to his ability to leave runners on base when they do get on. Idk, those numbers are really interesting though.

@PYahWeh Год назад

Goodluck to him when they ban the shift in a couple of seasons…

@Keevo39 Год назад

I'd imagine it also has to do a lot with his pitching approach. He's probably ok with giving up singles, as a team would usually need 3 in one inning to score a run. The low walk rate may also contribute to batters knowing they can swing more freely on pitchers counts, leading to increased flare hits.
