My goodness.
Is this the offense we were looking for 4-6 weeks ago?
Regression was inevitable.
Someone posted a link to this article a couple of weeks ago:
https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb-teams-are-quietly-snapping-up-smart-pitching-machines-that-can-imitate-any-aces-arsenal-041849718.htmlI talked to someone who works for the Astros recently and asked about these pitching machines and was told the Astros installed 2 about a month ago. I wasn't told directly what kind, but from the description it sounds like the more advanced one mentioned in the article that only 7 or 8 teams were supposedly using or had machines ordered. Not every player is apparently a fan, but Bregman was mentioned as one who supposedly is very into it.
Not saying that corresponds to recent success any more than a probable regression to the mean, but I think it's an interesting note.
