We talked about why Barry Bonds deserves to be in the hall of fame, what metrics to look at when trying to evaluate a change in performance in the beginning of the year, what we are most excited about with hawkeye data, best places to stay up to date with public research, and much much much more.

Today we did a long recap of the 2021 SABR seminar, talked about a commentary piece on how analytics are good for surgery but apparently bad for baseball, new lab upgrades and going back on some nuances about hitting biomechanics that we are excited to try and standardize across the baseball biomechanics industry. In true Caravan fashion, he recorded from a Vegas Starbucks and still crushed his SABR recap. Enjoy!
