10 May 2025

Ben Lindbergh and Ben Clemens of FanGraphs banter in regards to the newest positional drama relating to Rafael Devers, then focus on whether or not and why pitchers leaguewide are Yu Darvish-ing and Tyler Holton-ing—that’s, throwing extra pitch varieties, and ranging their pitch varieties extra based mostly on batter handedness—earlier than answering listener emails about dwelling strike zones and mixing dangerous groups to make an excellent staff. Then (44:42) Ben continues the “baseball jobs” collection by bringing on Adam Auer, main league dietician for the Brewers and former minor and main league power and conditioning coach, to speak about how groups are bettering participant efficiency via vitamin, train, and restoration, adopted (1:41:49) by Emory Brinkman, senior editor for Stats Carry out, who discusses producing viral enjoyable information, parsing statistical qualifiers, and data-wrangling.
