We have his Path/Power/Plate/Bat to Ball scores at: 55/43/30/51 at the AAA level Typically, hitters that successfully make the transition from AAA to MLB have much higher scores

Attack Angle is the total amount of loft in the bat/swing path at contact coming from both Explicit Loft (Catcher to pitcher tilt in the swing plane) and Implicit Loft (see below) community.fangraphs.com/are-ted-willia…

Guessing from these swings and the data that there is a (likely unintentional) swing path change - will know for sure next week when we update path data. Looks like his VBA could be flatter this year

What's up w/ Aaron Judge? He has been in the best quartile of IFFBs and Sweet Spot % historically, but now is bottom quartile in both. Could be a major swing change. Will have full data on his swing path at the end of the month (Acuna also)

Some ppl laughed at this projection before the season.. M. Busch has the 2nd best contact quality (xwOBAcon) in MLB so far. Yes, it's early but like we said before, there is a solid basis for him being *very* good

R. Acuna has changed his avg swing path angles (yr/yr VBA, AA) more than any hitter in MLB, w/ the exception of M. Taylor Given the ability to fully measure bat/body, it is clear that off-season training needs to improve for many hitters ..update for 2024 at end of the month

Corbin Carroll with 15 deg VBA on middle/middle No surprise that he has the worst contact quality in MLB so far. Yes, it's early, but looks like he may have flattened VBA even further Full data update at end of the month..

In addition to 6th highest GB rate, they are also leading MLB in IFFBs at 19.2% Granted, it is early but something to keep an eye on

Elly De La Cruz looks like he may have made a significant swing change in adding attack angle - stay tuned. If so, could be a *major* breakout! ..and of course (if true) we would update our initial post on him which got a few ppl riled up to say the least

Looking forward to getting actual swing path data on him - could be very good.. First month of data is key - did they make + or - swing changes over the off-season (Vlad, Soto, Acuna, Springer, Bellinger just a few we are watching). Everyone *thinks* they only make + changes!

He certainly needs to do that..4th worst Sweet Spot % in MLB Until he gets his VBA and attack angles back to 2019/2020, his contact quality (xwOBAcon) is not going to improve. Given his high EVs, his CQ should be *much* better

Some concerning trends on R. Acuna. Attack angle has gone from 82nd percentile to 12th. Contact quality independent of EV has gone from elite to about average. If he hits it 94 mph and doesn't strike out, he will be good no doubt - but he could be much better w/ his 'old' swing
