I think xwOBA isn't supposed to be adjusted for ballpark factors, a hit with the same exit velocity and launch angle will have the same xwOBA in Comerica and Fenway.

BTW, Tigers offense was second behind only the Dodgers in xwOBA entering today.

Pinch hit HR.

His current rate is under 170.

A 24.4 K% is fine, especially paired with a 14.0% BB%. He's never gonna be a 20% K%.

It is.

The ballpark is irrelevant. He was called up because he hits lefties, and there was a lefty on the mound. It's absolutely asinine to suggest a player needs to spend their first game on the bench.

Yes.

The option to listen to the radio feed is still there, I've been listening to Dickerson all game.

Light, but steady, rain 10 miles north at 10 & Woodward.

Reminder: peacock games are available on YTTV.

6 BB, 2 Ks, and 5 2B in 29 PAs. Too bad he strikes out a lot and hits a lot of weak ground balls.

The Padres broadcast showed the stats from spring training, catchers had the highest success rate, then pitchers, then batters. Catchers were somewhere around 56%, pitchers a little over 50%, and batters around 46%. Just going off memory so the percentages may be off a bit.

The rule already allows for unlimited successful challenges.

Well, for starters, you're missing that he doesn't K a lot, and his contact rate is elite.
