Ray’s Rundown 5/27: Who Are They?

Ray talks about where we are at as we approach the end of May. What’s up with the K-BB% measure with hurlers and why should you care? Ray then reviews the scary state of pitching by looking back to draft day – and it isn’t very pretty folks. Moving on to offense, he discusses wOBA and xwOBA numbers for hitters? Ray then talked about a bunch of young players and what your expectations for them should be: Nolan Jones, Jake McCarthy, Jaren Duran, Casey Schmitt, Mickey Moniak and Michael Harris. Finally, what about a new way to handle the issue with pitchers and grip? Can the league create an objective way to quantify what is too much rosin or just the right amount? There might just be a test to help do that.
