[QUOTE="randerto, post: 931708, member: 5198"] A complex topic at one level for sure but results always speak for themselves and are much less complex to understand. GT pitching has clearly seen a results-oriented downturn the past two years under DBo - team ERA being an obvious metric example. Observation by many much smarter than me on this topic would indicate DBo's in-game situational awareness and related pitch calling is part of the issue impacting results. This would be consistent with DBo's lack of experience coaching this part of the game as the majority of his experience base has been focused on player development. The AJC interview with CDH at the end of the year last season pretty much pointed this out. Therefore DBo himself may be focusing too much on analytics vs eye-test situational awareness such as pitching to the weakness of a specific hitter in a specific situation. Most of the kids he's worked with really like him and feel he's teaching them well so it doesn’t appear to be a loss of player confidence in DBo. Aside from potential DBo situational awareness issues, results show there has been a correlation to our new "pitching lab"/analytics and worse team ERA. This suggests player behavior changes created by something related to all the newer analytics that has clearly resulted in worse in-game player performance. I'm not smart enough to know exactly what that might be, but you're Kyle Wright example seems like a candidate for extrapolation with some of our pitchers... [/QUOTE]
