Hey, did Corbin Carroll do anything interesting in the second half year? Couldn't say.

Not quite as useful for pitchers as it is hitters, but I still like knowing which guys simply do not allow that kind of thing to happen, and these names track.

It's on player pages too. I always figured part of Bellinger's massive 2019 was the homer-friendly ball situation -- and it probably was -- but also, he simply hit differently that year. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/cody-bellinger-641355?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb#batted_ball_profile

Second! Minor change to run values. They'd previously been context-inclusive, accounting for game state.

Now, context-free is primary number - to better align with how much everything is context free - but you can get to the previous, leveraged versions too.

The context-free run values now fuel all the primary run value figures across the site.

However ..

..

The leveraged versions are still available as options, and you can compare the two in this column here, too, to see who added (or lost) the most in those big leverage spots.

Hey Mike! Whenever I try to change the start year to something other than 2024 and hit update, it keeps it at 2024. And it's that way on multiple browsers on multiple devices.

opsenheimer.bsky.social•1 day ago

Just thought I'd pass that along!

mikepetriello.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yep, I saw that too. Being fixed, sorry, thanks.

opsenheimer.bsky.social•1 day ago

No worries! Just noticed and wanted to make sure you knew. 😁

Thanks Mike! Hope all is well with you!
