Remember when I was talking about Colt Keith and him not swinging and missing at any sliders? In the 21 sliders he's seen in AAA through Sunday, he's swung and missed at just 1...
Colt does not miss sliders.

As defined by @MLBStats, a “Barrel” starts at 98 mph and 26–30° and widens from there — the same way in every direction.
Where the .500 / 1.500 standard actually starts, 2026:
Pulled: 95 mph
Oppo: 100 mph
Center: 103 mph
A barrel isn’t a barrel to all fields.
In a “this is really cool” moment for me today: apparently my great-great-grandpa played some form of minor league/independent baseball back in 1910s. Enough that he even has a b-ref page! baseball-reference.com/regis…

Trying out a new video format to better visualize the barrel at contact for MLB hitters in game.
With the World Series starting on Friday, here are the top swings in terms of Win Probability Added so far this Postseason.

John Peck crushes a 3-run homer to left center to put Scottsdale up 10-3. This one left his bat at 102.7 MPH and went 421 feet.

John Peck laces an RBI double into left center. He’s 3-for-5 with a HR, 2B, BB, SB, and 5RBIs today.
Elite chase and whiff in 2023, 2024. Also had elite HardHit% in 2024. Though walks are a bit of an issue. Very Yilber Díaz like. The Tigers need velocity still.

Pandora’s box is officially open for the Tigers offseason. Whether there’s anything to these rumors remains to be seen, but as the story goes, hope was the last thing left in the box. We’ll see where this one goes.

Cade Smith, after giving up a HR to Junior Caminero then watching him take his time around the bases while celebrating in an exaggerated manner: “It's not my style but I guess if I don’t like it, I shouldn’t give up home runs.”
JerryMackinem retweeted
Yes, it is known the Tigers more than likely are not going to spend (allegedly) whenever the offseason begins but for the sake of content, and curiousity, wanted to look at three outfield bats that would help.

Thank you for those who have continued to support out Pateron. New article on summing up the season of Ben Malgeri and how far he has come in the Tigers farm system to a plus defensive player.

Idea that I'm working with based off last week and Turang's home run to LCF. Trying to visualize where players are 'potentially' making contact with the baseball.
The visual here is what I'm most interested in. Big estimate going on here take with a grain of salt.

Source: LHP Nick Raquet has agreed to terms on a 2-Year minor league deal with the #Tigers.
Raquet, who recently underwent Tommy John surgery, made his MLB debut in 2025 with the #Cardinals, and pitched 4 games for the #Orioles in 2026.

Sorry, I'm really fascinated by this right now. Here's 3 different arms. The pitcher in red looks to be the outlier in terms of having his arm straighter, but all 3 have their own distinct differences. It's very interesting!
