Hey everyone!
One day I was looking at some players' stats and I stumbled across Kevin Gausman's profile. This took me down a confusing rabbit hole that I still kinda don't understand. Kevin Gausman's 2022 season has started in a historic way, but it's simultaneously very confusing.

I'm an Oriole fan and it was just so frustrating watching such a talented guy struggle as much as he did for us. He'd look good and then throw a 5 or a 4.6 ERA season afterward. Always had nasty stuff, he went to another level with SF. It sucks watching these guys blow up when they leave, same thing with Arrieta.
And Strop. And hellickson. And David Hernandez. And Dylan Bundy. And you could possibly make a Case for Koji Uehara and Alex Cobb, and for a few years there, fellow Oriole-Turned-Cub Jason Hammel. I don’t know if it’s rotten luck or they’re just lacking in the pitching development department, but man, they’ve missed so many times. Sad
As a long time MN Twins fan, I feel the same way. It sucks watching players with potential never quite realize it until after they leave. David Ortiz, Aaron Hicks, Ryan Pressly, to name a few
Orioles and Pirates have had so many studs come through that they could never get production out of then once they left they became beasts .
@@quintman15 you guys have actually been really good with you people. Minnesota is one of the best. It's easy to look at the ones that got away but Minnesota is trouble this year..
@@chuckdeuces911 oh of course I’m aware they’re doing well this year (though not without their issues), the problem I’m speaking to is a historical one. All of the players I cited left the Twins before 2018. Our farm and player development systems have been much more effective recently
I was doing a bit of research on why the Giants' defense is the worst in MLB this year, especially with the defensive lineup not being too different from last year, and this video kinda explains it very well. The pitch selection from Gausman this year may be different but the philosophy is the same from when he was with the Giants: prevent barrels and produce low launch angles. Kinda seems like the kind of contact allowed that would result in this are balls that takes a lot of effort to field, especially with a velocity that allows balls to just land in no man's land. While yes this doesn't completely explain both the Giant's struggles on defense nor Gausman's season overall, I find the similarities between the two to not be a coincidence.
Just watched this after Gausman's start against the Red Sox, where the Jays hung a 28-spot against them. It was quite the game to watch.
I agree I haven’t even watched the video but very confusing season indeed.
Yes very confusing
Indeed, it looks very….peculiar 🤔
As someone whos just now getting into watching mlb, why do you say that??
Super glad someone made a video like this. It was surprising to me how it felt like every baseball fan went to bat for Carlos Rodon as an all-star snub while not Gausman got no attention (despite the two having very similar numbers). Also, I've watched probably 80% of Blue Jay games so far this year so I knew about the high babip, team shift rate etc., but the batted ball stuff you featured in this video was new to me and super interesting. It's really impressive in general how you always find stuff to talk about that feels both fresh and engaging. Easily one of the top 3 baseball content creators on YT
Thank you, I really appreciate that!
Amazing video. The amount of research you would have to do for this video OMG. And nuanced understanding of the stats.
Tips to Blue Jays: shift less when Gausman pitches and recruit Sportstorm😅
Thank you!
@@SportStorm23 a lot of the shifting that the jays do is 4 man outfield which they lead the mlb in
@@thatcanadianguy6966 there is no need for a 4 man outfield when gausman is on the mound due to Weak contact he gives up
The shift is so shit both ways. When you’re hitting you hate the shift and yet when you’re pitching with the shift you also hate it. Cant wait for it to be taken out of the game no matter the controversy it’ll ultimately cause
Cool video! A bunch of strange stats going on with Gausman, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
If he gets the job done then so be it, as long as runs don’t cross the plate! He’s great from the stretch & getting guys out when it matters most, at least in recent history, but he’s been balling since I started watching him in college at LSU. He’s always had great stuff. In college, he had what he considered a 1-seam fastball.
As a Giants fan, I love that Gausman has continued to find success and make history (in albeit a very selective way). One of my favorite players and a truely memorable Forever Giant
The quality is so good in these videos, you could make a video about fire hydrants and I’d watch the whole way through.
Can you a video on how the Braves were struggling to get around .500 at the All Star Break only to win the World Series in 2021?
It’s been on my list for a while. I think I’ll get around to it one day
This is such an excellent video. Thank you.
Great vid!! I love getting in the weeds with stats. Instant sub!
Thank you!
this is amazing content. keep up the great work!
Great research here very well made
Great vid, thanks for the shoutout! I've gotta talk about Gausman briefly in my next video so I'm definitely gonna be citing stats from here
I love the fact that baseball can be around for as long as it has been, and we can still see something every year that has never happened before. Good stuff!
Most comparisons are between full seasons vs up-until-now anomalies. Regression to the mean will probably happen and things will become less extreme for Gausman (like the Blue Jays not using the shift anymore with him pitching, as an example). That being said, we are 2/3s of the season through...
baseball is like my 2nd or 3rd favorite sport and have just become familiar with *some* of the stats and this video made me realize just how deep it goes. I had to pause and rewind so many times that I turned a 12 minute video into a 45 minute experience.
I believe it is a good thing to have all these different stats, and its just fun. But i couldnt help but think of the line "if you have 2 of something (stats in this case) do you really have 1?"
This vid is awesome, really great work. Subbed
Thank you!
first time viewer here and gotta say you you did an amazing job with this video - great topic great analysis!
Great video, with awesome research. Blake Murphy's baseball show in Toronto did a deep dive on this a little while back and they found that the shift + players sitting back on the splitter/fastball break meant players were going the other way a lot. They've actually stopped shifting behind Gausman now! Really interested to see how this shakes out the rest of the season.
That’s very interesting, definitely makes sense
you make great content and your one of my favorite creators
Thank you!
@@SportStorm23 omg you replied
You should do a video next on Sandy Alcantara's season too, the kid is a beast.
Perfect video for a lunch break
Problem with relying on your splitter is you just gotta lay off the low pitches to avoid it and look for the fastball. Pete walker has got kevin using the 4 seam low to try and confuse hitters mixing the changeup in aswell here and there i think if he used his slider once in a bit too he would be ok hes gonna have a good season i really believe
Very interesting video. Seems to me like the shift along with Gausman using two pitches that drop (split and change) allow him to both induce less than solid contact while finding holes through the infield. In addition, the split and change keep HR and fly balls low which contributes to his ability to leave runners on base when they do get on. Idk, those numbers are really interesting though.
Goodluck to him when they ban the shift in a couple of seasons…
as someone who was at that game in cleveland, the opening clip broke my heart
same thing happened the second half of last year when he was with the giants. just sucks, he’s elite but he’s so unlucky
Do you think this could be due to batting approach? Would be interesting to look at count breakouts. With only two pitches that are thrown relatively hard, maybe it's easier to flare the ball or just slap it up the middle or the opposite field.
I'd imagine it also has to do a lot with his pitching approach. He's probably ok with giving up singles, as a team would usually need 3 in one inning to score a run. The low walk rate may also contribute to batters knowing they can swing more freely on pitchers counts, leading to increased flare hits.
Fascinating video
Yea last year I always got nervous when he started with the giants. Some days he was good and some days he was pitching batting practice
He's giving flares/Texas leaguers at an unreal rate then...or weak grounders that would be outs if THE SHIFT WAS NOT BEING USED...
With Gausman you can describe him in 2 words: Russian Roulette.
It really makes sense, though. Don't give up instant runs via the long ball, don't put extra men on by walking, and make teams stack up two or even three cheap hits together to score.
I think it’s the pitch selection. Sinker seems like the perfect looping hit to the outfield.
Seems Max Fried is hovering around similar areas to Gausman when it comes to weak contact, pretty good.
That’s baseball baby

I’m a Jays fan, and I was upset at this team, until last night.
2 jays in the top 5 of babip. Jays shift more than anyone too, that's likely part of it
Nm, you mentioned it haha
It’s stupid Montoyo’s game plan lol. Glad they fired him
@@bockstaboi6638 Schneider is vlad's guy. Pitched to him at the derby when he crushed 90+
His babip being so high is probably due to his splitter and the new baseballs. Balls are deader now so they arent flying as far and his splitter is getting hit hard but not clean.
Shift ban will probably make Gausman very dangerous next year as most hits on Gausman this year were on shift defense.
Great time to be a Jays fan
My friends and I are Reds fan and we STILL talk aboot releasing him! His numbers out of the pen weren't bad especially considering the abysmal relief work we've come to expect in Cincinnati. Just another in a series of bad moved by this front office....
Corbin Burnes did this last year but by a less inning but ok lol
Add this video to the list on why baseball is strangely beautiful
Jays in the playoffs will do some damage.
Gausman
Manoah
Berrios.
He’s a great pitcher, just unlucky IMO
great video. loved this. gausman is one of the most interesting stories in baseball right now.
Thank you! I'm very interested to see how Gausman ends this season
@@SportStorm23 yeah me too. I’m a Braves fan so to see he go from being so bad he was placed on waivers to cy young finalist in no time is so crazy
For the quality of videos you’re putting out you deserve to be getting way more views and have so many more subscribers. Keep up the great work you’re one of my favorite youtubers on this platform💪
Make a video on how Clay Holmes became a legend in 1 year
Watching his games he gets a lot of balls hit where they ain’t, and they’re not hard hit balls, and Bo Bichette sucks on top of that. He also had a couple of starts in a row where the opponent was spitting on the split, almost as if they knew it was coming, it started with the Twins and the next few teams gave him some troubles too though he seems to have worked through that, but I wonder how much those 2 or 3 games factored into those numbers?
10:13 with this list .. somebody screenshot this! - I’m predicting Clayton Kershaw will retire on a high note and leave the season they ban the shift. Whether 2023 or 2024 I forget what year they said they’ll do it but he’s donezo.
Do a follow up video from the angels historical downfall too where they legitimate only win when ohtani pitches
He's like a fine cheese or wine. He only gets better over time.
Simplest way to put it. He’ll allow hits but he rarely ever allows consecutive hits and since he doesn’t walk people or allow homers, he doesn’t give up much runs
Don’t forget how he introduced Manoah to his 2 seam fastball. Now Manoah is easily the ace of the Jays and the two seam is his strikeout pitch.
I wish SF coulda kept him. Dudes a beast
Great pitchers are capable of 2 or 3 dominant years. Exceptional pitchers are consistently dominant. Gausman is a great pitcher.
Nice argument
@@willm3027 are you saying gausman is not dominant. Because he has been.
@@bockstaboi6638 I’m not saying I agree, I just like his argument. It’s neither right or wrong.
So this means the Blue Jays’ defensive positioning is bad.
once you said BABIP i knew i was deep in the baseball rabbit hole
Gausgod
sheesh that one championship season saved corbin… he is at the top of every stat you DONT wanna be 😂
I feel like watching this Iv'e found a pitcher this year who defies stats like that srs vid on that Met's reliever he does and doesn't make sense i looked at his hit percentages and he had a Line Drive% of 28 and a Flyball% of 24 but had a groundball% of 41 which blows my mind it feels like hes a great pitcher not because he fools hitters but because he controls hitters and just makes them bloop the ball and just forces them to swing at terrible balls and keep them inside the yard but when he needs to he shuts them all down
Let's not quickly overlook Big Dumper being the one to break the Homerless streak. Also where's that Mariners video that was mentioned to be in the works back when the Blue Jays video about them missing the playoffs came out?
Honestly I don’t think I ever started on it. I’ll wait to see how they perform for the rest of the season
Putting up Cy Young stats is pretty insane considering it's been 120 years.
Giants legend
As a baseball fan, I really appreciate your channel and its content. But will you ever go back to covering other sports like nfl, nba, or even nhl? You’ve made videos about football and basketball before, so I’m wondering if we’ll ever get that content again.
I’m sure I’ll make some vids on other sports at some point. I nearly made a soccer vid at the end of last year but I scrapped it.
So in short, he allows alot of soft hits but not many runs, and has great pitch control.
i'm a simple man i see GASman i press like
This is exactly why I take many advanced analytics with a grain of salt. They were arbitrary created. I am all for advanced stats but they don’t mean everything
"Not since Happy Finneran...."
How many of those flairs are on 2 strike counts compared to everyone else? Might just be the case that people have found that they can just sit back on 2 strike counts and just put bat to ball, and Gausman hasn't made an adjustment(maybe being predictable with splitters on 2k? Who knows)
that's definitely something to look into
eh just give him the cy young already :D
10:38 that's weird had a average .030 higher but a OPS .011 lower
Lack of home runs and extra base hits against gausman this season. Hitters only get weak singles off of him leading to low slugging percentages
He had a few bad games, but mostly he has been great. Guess the Jays should stop using the shift on right handed batters while Gausman is pitching...
As a jays fan the record is not so pretty its because the times gausman is pitching the runsuport is not there
For some reason when berrios pitches the offense decides to wake up to bail him out. Then when gausman starts the offense is sleepy lol
@@bockstaboi6638 Agreed
So your telling me this is why the blue Jays fires montoyo. Terrible defense
He is on my fantasy team and he does absolutely terrible then he does amazing a couple games later then back to trash then amazing again
Geaux Tigers
my biggest takeaway is that patrick corbin is not what he used to be
It’s shocking Gausman’s ERA is where it is despite that awful BABIP
Edit: lol and you mentioned that the moment I hit enter
It just means he's been unlucky and that should regulate itself. Plus it seemed that he was tipping pitches for 4 games or so.. He got blown up for a few and regained his form against Bos.. that's why the numbers are inflated
ERA is not a great stat anymore
So…Kevin Gausman is the most hittable ace in MLB history (and it’s not as bad as it sounds). Sounds about right for a product of the Orioles organization. 💪🏽
Lemme tell ya. As a blue Jays fan. It ain't the defense. Those boys are fucking good
78 years is 3/4 of a century.
Why couldn’t he do this with the Gaints
Kevin "Tungsten Arm"' Gausman
W
Is it me or does he sound like MatPat???? (Film Theory, Game Theory)
Joe mantiply has only 2 walks and 38 Ks
Bruh, a ball hit at 102 is considered flared???
It has to do with where the ball hit the bat
As a orioles fan this video pains me
Um.... there was someone right behind him at 30 IP in 2014. So, no. that's inaccurate.
Are you illterate or the guy that was there isnt top 10 anymore
And he wasnt at 30 IP
@@noahduchesne6419 Tim Hudson was #9 brainiac! He did say "ahead of Gausman, meaning more innings pitched than Gausman. But to suggest nobody had done 30 IP and 0 walks in a long time just isnt factual as Hudson did it 8 years ago.
He got MLB The Showed
gausman is great
It’s just baseball 😂
Send this video to the BLUE JAYS FRONT OFFICE. STOP SHIFTING
Who is sigh yonge?
Edit: cy young award was referenced, so this joke isn’t as funny as it was in my head before.
Giants shouldn't have let him go
It wasn't so much let go as much as us jays prying him away, we already wanted him after 2020, almost got a steal of a contract back then
