🧵 #TreySweeney has the tools but his bat path is preventing him from maximizing his production for #RepDetroit . A deep dive on the effects of Sweeney's bat path and the outcomes we have seen from it and how unlocking an efficient path will let his power play.

Swing Design focus w/ @Sfarni_4: - Turn the barrel deeper in the zone - Hold proper posture Offset Open paired w/ oppo angle flips to slot the barrel and get on plane early❗️ Short bat: helped him hold posture Bazooka bat: helped him turn the barrel and not push his hands

Recently dove into coding with @BentleY__ThomaS. Using Python we set out to create a heat map for our hitters @kzoobaseball. In this case we utilize Whiff% that will allows us to see the zones our hitters swing and miss most in.

Throughout the winter and season we gather a lot of data @kzoobaseball. To make this data digestible for each hitter, we make Post Live AB reports. With the help of @bacraig8 we can efficiently make these reports, inform each player, and look to quickly improve.
