This has been the most in depth analysis of pitching preview leading up to this WS match up. Breath of fresh air. Liked commented and subscribe for algorithm purposes, and wish you best of luck.
This is over my head. I started watching baseball this year & I like the intellectualism of the game. I don't even know all of the different pitches. I appreciate the strike zone box shown on TV; otherwise I wouldn't know what is a strike or a ball. Great game.
Don't worry, you'll start getting used to it and naturally start to see differences each pitch. It just takes time and watching a lot of baseball in that time
This is a great video, it really highlights a conundrum for LA. They need to chalkenge the Yankees, imo. The Yankees rely heavily on walks and working the count. The Royals and Giardians walked the Yankees eaely and often, which shortened the starters' outings and strained their bullpens. If LA drives up their starters' pitch count and have to go to their pen early, they will struggle to beat the Yankees. The Dodgers need innings to protect their pen, and they already have one guaranteed bullpen game in this series already - the Yankees also have to get innings to shield their pen, hut they have 4 starters AND Cortes and Stroman to potentially eat innings out of the pen. If LA can get length from their starters, that will give them the pitching edge. If they nibble too much and walk the Yankee hitters, they will tax their pen and lose the talent advantage from a bullpen perspective.
That is interesting to sum up these world series off of random outcomes. You mention that the sample size gets cut to nearly 96 percent as both teams approach the world series which is what makes these outcomes so hard to measure?! That's so crazy 😭
Well, on the positive side of things, if we were accurate predicting things (right ~75% of the time), there probably wouldn’t be much reason to watch haha So I like the universe we’re in
This is why analytics exist in baseball. This is also why teams are so addicted to it. Going up to the player and asking how they feel doesn’t give much of an answer.
Despite that, I do think it’s important (potentially vital) to consider player perspective. Ie, “what do you see from that pitcher” “why is his slider good when our model says it isn’t” Can learn a lot from it, or even set up further research
With the amount of money they spend in analytics department. I’m sure they already looked at it. This video is made by one guys. A whole department probably looking at 500 times the data not counting computers doing the job.
Mookie Betts being awesome vs right on right sliders really helps the dodgers. They generally fare better against Sinker Slider pitchers. The generally dominant most pitching archotypes though.
Mookie covering SL away is somewhat new! He struggled all year with it (before and after the broken hand), late adjustment by him heading into the postseason. Super impressive
4S - .393 SK - .365 CH - .344 SL - .361 Should've included this in those slides, my apologies! Thought it would come across through my highlighting. Won't give full L/R splits cause then you'd have to control for pitcher, it'd be a lot of numbers, etc. They'll deviate slightly when looking at optimal matchups (lefty # will be higher vs righty pitchers; righty numbers will be higher vs lefty pitchers, etc)
I've played ball all my life and always knew analytics have always been involved but this video just showed me how off I am on how much analytics is actually going on. Is any part of the game about feel anymore?
💯 , if Soto has 8 + pitch ABs regularly he will go yard eventually as proven against Guardians. I can see him having a multiple HR game at YANKEE STADIUM
@@seen3804here’s the issue. What you said statistically up to this point is correct , but one bad decision pitch or swing wise in a particular situation (bases loaded ,0-2 outs ,late inning , early inning etc) throws all that out the window. Everything we think we know about this series will be turned on its head by the weekend most likely. That’s baseball.
I only ask the umps call a solid game. Consistent, and accurate. Let the players decide, not umps flipping counts or forcing either manager to challenge a call that shouldn’t need it.
the dodgers and yankees arent in the world series because manfruad wanted it. the only stats that matter is who wins the games. player stats during team losses dont matter
This don’t mean diddly squat. This week is Not last week! This is baseball Soooooo unpredictable!.. I can tell these analysts ain’t played ball. Yes in LA the 2 first games will be pitch duels obviously. But it won’t be anything close to last week. The best part is Games 3,4,5, in NY. Why??? Because of the weather. And the Park. Weather is more unpredictable than the game. It can stop the movement, the momentum and can freeze a pro player in his tracks. So shut up and watch the games… You guys have no clue🤣

team game yet its always a 1v1. pitcher v batter.
Me too bud, ive gained a bigger appreciation for the game by watching this season. Learning a lot. Go yankees!

Until I checked the comments I didn’t realize how few people have seen this this is such actual insightful content
This is easily one of the most informative and greatest basbeall videos I have ever seen. Great work man.

Yankees needs to see this video .
Loved the analysis. This adds another dimension to watching the game and predicting pitches. Thank you, I subscribed
Thanks! Appreciate it 🤙
Excellent video.Thank you for the education!

THIS VIDEO IS THE REAL MVP👏🏼👏🏼
I really enjoyed your analysis. Looking foreword to your future videos too 🎉
Thanks!
Awesome analysis
Wow. Great stuff, Lance! I love the numbers and the way you present the information. Really excited for this World Series
instant subscribe
this was extremely entertaining and interesting
Yankees pitching coach Blake is the difference maker for the Yankees. He is responsible for the Yankees being competitive again in pitching.
Interesting video 😎
good shit lance

Great video.
Please tell me that you will make a follow up video going over the stats once the series is over!
Wow, this was an awesome video!!! Subscribing… now!!
This is so informative. Excellent work!
Thanks!
This is exactly what the Dodger pitching staff needs to watch
With the amount of money they spend in analytics department. I’m sure they already looked at it. This video is made by one guys. A whole department probably looking at 500 times the data not counting computers doing the job.
The Dodgers are FKD
Yeah, their internal analysis is 5000x better than mine
They have skin in the game, I don’t! Big difference
Appreciate your content..it gold...🎉🎉
Dodgers hitters are patient
So are the Yankees hitters, thats the reason the Yankees lead the league (both AL, and NL) in walks.
They remind me of the late 90’s Yankees
Both teams. This has the chance to be highest scoring ws ever with the fire power on both sides. ESP if both are hitting and grinding.
@@k29king1the difference is less than a walk per game (Yankees 4.22/Dodgers 3.80) so they are basically the same. Both teams walk a lot.
You should do more breakdowns after every World Series game.
Mookie Betts being awesome vs right on right sliders really helps the dodgers. They generally fare better against Sinker Slider pitchers. The generally dominant most pitching archotypes though.
Mookie covering SL away is somewhat new! He struggled all year with it (before and after the broken hand), late adjustment by him heading into the postseason. Super impressive
What are the averages for xWOBAcon for pitch type + handedness?
4S - .393
SK - .365
CH - .344
SL - .361

@8:00 it's pronounced with a kay
Oh, it’s “CANE-lee” not “KAHN-lee”?
Totally my bad, thanks for the note
Was looking for this comment😂😂😂
Valuable data analysis. Thank you.
Great vid. I think Kahnle is pronounced “Kane-Lee” though
It’s actually more “can-Lee”
Throw what you want to Verdugo and Chisolm, don't worry, they'll miss or ground it straight to the 2nd baseman.
Fr 😂
Yankees in 6
In other words, there’s going to be a lot of hitting in this series.
But you didn’t answer the most important question, who do you think it’s gonna win?
Bro how are not making 300k working for the astros or something
A) nobody working in baseball makes $300k lol (GM level maybe)
B) I wouldn't be able to make content for the people
C) Thank you (haha)
Astros are cheaters. @LanceBroz should make $300k working for a real org like the Yankees.
This series won’t be won by way of data. It’s gonna come down to old school baseball and heart and clutch moments
💯 , if Soto has 8 + pitch ABs regularly he will go yard eventually as proven against Guardians. I can see him having a multiple HR game at YANKEE STADIUM
All this info is great and all but Lance just tell us who will win the World Series, okay? 😂
Always root for 7 games if you have no direct rooting interest haha
LAD in 7
So who's ur pick and in how many games?
When you have no direct rooting interest, always root for 7 games
LAD in 7
We have to pitch less fastballs against the Yankees. Without a doubt.
Hernandez owns Cole and Rodon.
Kopech owns Stanton Judge Soto
games over, series over.
Dodgers win
theeeee Dodgers win!
Lol your logic is beyond Flawed. Yankees win.
@@k29king1 what's wrong with it?

LETS GO DODGERS 🔵
This is one of the reasons i think the Yankees will win
the dodgers and yankees arent in the world series because manfruad wanted it. the only stats that matter is who wins the games. player stats during team losses dont matter
So who’s going to win ? lol all these stats are important but anything can happen in the World Series ?!?
What rob manfred wanted? Most wanted.
Yankees are gonna have a field day if they only throw fastballs lol
Yankees eat fastballs!
dodgers lack of a starting rpitchers will finally catch up vs the yanks. the phony bullpen game is on borrowed time. yanks in 6
Hmmm
@dodgers

Basically what he saying is if the Dodgers come in pitching the same system it’s going to be a home run derby for the Yankees!!
All media has them Yankees glizzys in their mouths lol! Dodgers in 6!
The only data that is important is "W" (for Yankees) and "L" (for Dodgers). The rest of the stuff is BLAH BLAH BLAH. WOOOOOH!
