The trick is to hit it over Pratt but under the roof.

.940 xBA. Merrill regularly gets robbed like this btw. Pretty unlucky player.

Babip is slightly above league average

Both things can be true

That doesn’t mean he isn’t unlucky. You can’t just say league average BABIP means his batted ball luck is fine. You have to analyzed the batted ball quality

His difference between his batting average and expected average is -16 points. Only 20 qualified hitters in baseball had a bigger difference

Heck of a play for sure, it doesn’t beat Tatis double jump though 😜

u/misplacedbass Milwaukee Brewers 7h ago

That tatis double jump was some superhuman shit my god. The coop one was excellent, but I do have to concede to tatis on this one.
