On this week’s episode of Rays Your Voice we take a look at Baseball Savant’s new bat speed leaderboards and try to make sense of the data for Rays players. For example, how does Isaac Paredes hit all of those home runs despite having the slowest swing on the team?
We ‘Rays’ our voices about the importance of this data being public now, and how it might shape the way we evaluate players and think about the game.
We also discuss Brandon Lowe’s setback on his rehab assignment, Jonathan Aranda rejoining the team, and continue to debate how the Rays might manage the upcoming roster crunch.
