The Approach Angle

Nate Schwartz (@_nateschwartz) and Kyle Bland (@blandalytics) talk about four hitters who are doing something new.

After spending the last couple of weeks building up the analytical toolkit on the hitting side, the two investigate hitters who are doing something new—for better or worse. They start with Gunnar Henderson's struggles, looking at how his swing has changed from past years and the effect that has on his decision-making. Then, they look at Munetaka Murakami's breakout season and talk about how his approach is sustainable despite an exceptionally high whiff rate. After that, they take a stab at why Fernando Tatis Jr. has no home runs and project what he'll look like for the rest of the season and beyond. Finally, they evaluate Jordan Walker's breakout season, and why a bunch of small changes are going a long way.

This week on Hacks & Jacks, Scott and Brett discuss all the injury and call-up transactions around the league, including whether any of the most recent prospects could have fantasy value or if they're all just names in the wash. St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker just keeps hitting, and just keeps rising up the hitter ranks. Meanwhile, Samuel Basallo has firmly supplanted Adley Rutschman as the catcher to roster in Baltimore. Scott has removed a bunch of Mets from the list, including third baseman Mark Vientos. And he tells you why.
