How To Win The World Series Ep 7: Hard Hits Hits come in all different shapes and sizes: swinging bunts, hard hit ground balls, balls poked into the outfield, and good ole fashioned line drives. Announcers are famous for saying the stat sheet doesn’t know the difference between these hits, however in this analytical empire this is no longer the case. Baseball savant tracks every single ball in play. They track launch angle and exit velocity which when combined essentially show the stat sheet exactly how every ball is hit.  Hitting the ball hard doesn’t always translate to a hit; sometimes batters will hit balls over 100MPH+, but right at a fielder. They did nothing wrong, they just got unlucky. Over the long haul of a season, players who hit the ball the hardest get the most hits and home runs.  When scaled up to teams as a whole, the team with the highest average exit velocity is the best batting team in the league most of the time. So I decided to see how the world series winner fared every year.   The results surprised me there were plenty of championship teams who finished around average or even below average. I think the biggest explanation for this is that you have to get lucky when it comes to the postseason and if you hit too many line drives you might not be lucky enough to take home the Commissioner's Trophy. #baseball #r #coding #analytics
