I don’t know what to make of a stat like “average launch angle”.
Is that a median or mean average or what? If it’s a mean, you’d get the same result with a bunch of groundouts and pop ups as you would with a bunch of line drives.
Nobody is going to convince me with numbers that Yelich has been hitting the ball the same as he did in 2018, even in the first half of the season before his blistering second half. He didn’t hit that many HRs, but he hit a lot of line drives to left, left center, and straight away.
Hopefully his recent performance, including the two bombs tonight, is the start of some extended production and not just a flash in the pan like he showed briefly in May last year.
