What to look for at this point in the season:
- Pitchers
  1. SIERA not ERA
  2. WHIP will stabilize eventually but it’s too early
  3. Ks and BBs stabilize early, but SwStrk% is more telling for Ks early
  4. Check HR rate, BABIP and LOB% for luck
- Hitters
  1. Check AVG vs xBA
  2. For AVG look at Contact% Z-Con% LD% BABIP HH% K% not AVG
  3. For power, look at EV50, Pull%, barrel%, FB%, HR/FB not HRs
- Also look at historical results and compare how they’re doing in these stats vs historical trends
- Have to be able to figure out what just looks like a hot streak and what’s sustainable legitimate growth
  1. Adell: K% and SwStrk% way down, barrel% and HH% way up, contact% way up, Z-Con% way up, BABIP normal

Don’t just look at results - look under the hood
- Connor Wong vs Logan O’Hoppe
- Wong: 98.9 EV50 (206) / HH: 33% / 6.7% barrel / xBA .248
- O’Hoppe: 100.6 EV50 (100) / HH: 47% / 8.3% barrel / xBA .270
- check HR/FB, BABIP
