This is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s loads more just to be found - player, team, and platoon analysis are all available.

I’m excited to see what additional analysis materializes.

A recent article on MMO about this was recently published.

Surprisingly, the same pitch followed each other to identical spots pretty often.

My theories:

- When Diaz was ahead in the count, he threw the pitch in tandem to induce a swing-and-miss
- Regardless of count, his slider performed best low and away
- It generally follows Diaz’s usage patterns

The same sequential pitch so often seems strange but it’s actually very prevalent.

Take Edwin Diaz for example.

Diaz’s profile is interesting. From watching games, I assumed his fastball followed his slider often, but no.

In 2025, the Mets’s most frequent sequences: 

- Holmes: Sinker/ Sinker 365 times
- Manaea: Four-Seam Fastball/Four-Seam Fastball 306 times
- Diaz: Four-Seam Fastball/Four-Seam Fastball 282 times
- Stanek: Four-Seam Fastball/Four-Seam Fastball 281 times
- Diaz: Slider/Slider 241 times

Hell yeah

I’ve been writing about baseball for almost a decade now. Writing (and in general baseball analysis( has granted me so many opportunities. Somehow, I’ve even parlayed it to full-time employment.

There’s absolutely more still in the works and something (very cool imo) right on the horizon

In March, I took a look at Citi Field and visualized the park’s historical park factors using pybaseball game_logs’s module (iykyk). Throughout the season, I contributed a PR and looked into several of the issues.

In September, I had the privilege of covering several Brooklyn Cyclones and Binghamton Rumble Ponies postseason games during each team’s respective playoff push.

Clay Holmes signed with the Mets mid-winter and amidst a Moneyball re-watch, I took a look at his arsenal within the context of Max Bay’s excellent Dynamic Dead Zone App

There aren’t enough words in the English language that can properly articulate the pure euphoria of meeting your childhood hero, and yet, I attempted to fit 584 words in the right order to properly express the moment of meeting David Wright.

Amidst the pause in baseball, I wanted to take a moment to reflect and recap my baseball/baseball-adjacent work from the 2025 season

That will change

I’d imagine that the Braves are the only MLB franchise value can be measured semi-accurately, given their pubic filings

Valid! Have a nice holiday!

I’m curious why you excluded Wright

It’s not hyperbole to call Polars a lifesaver

Cool, I appreciate the insight

Is there any code I could reference? I’m curious how you calculated these tables
