At @baseballpro, @pizzacutter4 is both a fantastic analyst (two great books!) and a trained clinical psychologist. He combines both skills in this must-read article describing how we got to where we are with pitching and why changing anything's so daunting baseballprospectus.com/news/article/8…
Shameless self-promotion: Why don't pitchers ease up a bit if it causes so many injuries? Well, where's the incentive to do so? @baseballpro baseballprospectus.com/news/article/8…
Shameless self-promotion: We know that baseball players need an occasional day off. We're learning more about why that is. @baseballpro baseballprospectus.com/news/article/8…
Happy birthday tooooo you. (And Mandy Moore)
From the archives: Why pitch limits didn't solve pitcher injuries. @baseballpro baseballprospectus.com/news/article/8…
Shameless self-promotion: It's often said that a player who normally plays a position, but is DHing that day is "getting a half day off." No. They're not. @baseballpro Thanks to @HannahRKeyser and @BenLindbergh for inspiring this one. baseballprospectus.com/news/article/8…
:-)
Shameless self-promotion: You should take an occasional break and so should Major League Baseball players. It's good for both of you. @baseballpro baseballprospectus.com/news/article/8…
New from me - my favorite column I worked on all spring: How many active players have 500 HR or 3,000 hits or 300 wins? Right. None! And we’re facing our longest milestone drought since the 1950s So I looked at who could end it and why we should care theathletic.com/5366843/2024/0…

Happy. 93rd. Birthday. To. William. Shatner.
Shameless self-promotion: The pitch clock/pickoff throw rule led to an increase in steals in 2023. How it did that matters. @baseballpro baseballprospectus.com/news/article/8…
Twitter hive-mind: I'd like to read a nice popular history of the Cenozoic Era. Big rock hits Earth 65 million years ago. The dinosaurs mostly die out, but obviously not everything did. Now, I'm typing this Xweet. I'd appreciate knowing what happened in between. Got a rec?
Wish I could have been there for this.

Basically, he provides data to argue third base coaches should be replaced by a big sign that says “GO!”. Fascinating read for a baseball nerd. (@pizzacutter4)
At @baseballpro, @pizzacutter4 is both a fantastic analyst (two great books!) and a trained clinical psychologist. He combines both skills in this must-read article describing how we got to where we are with pitching and why changing anything's so daunting baseballprospectus.com/news/article/8…
It's @LukeEpplin's "Our Team" #1 @terrypluto's "Our Tribe" #2 #3 is by no means a perfect book but the concept to Peter Schilling's "The End of Baseball" is such a good one I can't help but love it @pizzacutter4's "The Shift" Doris Kearns Goodwin's "Wait Till Next Year" is #5
As it's World Book Day, what's your favourite baseball book?
Credit to @pizzacutter4 whose research I relied heavily on (and which he was willing to update for this specifically!) and @BenLindbergh for being the most pleasantly thorough editor who made the piece better just by replying to the pitch.
The Blake Snell saga ought to be a reminder that even if you don't have much faith in peripheral measures of pitching performance, if you don't understand the ins and outs of those peripheral measures, you'll miss key context why teams do things.
Rounding up some of the most insightful voices from @baseballpro past and present, including award winners, founders, and at least one World Series ring. #SABRanalytics
Timely. I just started reading the Marlins chapter of the annual, without paying attention to the byline, and was really impressed with the writing. Wasn't surprised at all when I did check the author to see it is @pizzacutter4.
2024 Season Preview: Miami Marlins by @cdgoldstein baseballprospectus.com/news/article/8…
People should be *very* careful about using FIP outside a professional baseball context. FIP only works where there *is* a fairly tight range of ability to prevent hits in play, as at the MLB level. It's probably less useful for college and probably awful for high school.
Ladies and gentlemen, @pizzacutter4 has done it again. Shorten up? Nah. baseballprospectus.com/news/article/8…
I've been wondering about this for years!
Shameless self-promotion: Why doesn't anyone shorten up in MLB? Well, it turns out that they haven't in 30 years. And there's a surprise villain that made it that way. @baseballpro baseballprospectus.com/news/article/8…
This is why @baseballpro's @pizzacutter4 is so great: He takes an interesting question (are fielders declining in quality), derives a smart way to analyze it, and provides insightful analysis of the results. A fantastic article. baseballprospectus.com/news/article/8…

I am about to spend hours on this
It's still winter. Time for a fun baseball game. 1) Pick your favorite franchise 2) Pick one player from each season, 1998-2023 3) No repeated players 4) The resulting 26 players have to form a coherent 26-spot roster 5) Don't cheat on positions Go.
And yeah, you'll have to pay to read Russell's and Joe's work. They're outstanding analyses, written by outstanding analysts, in outstanding outlets. It's well worth it.
At @baseballpro, @pizzacutter4 explains the role of bullpens in the change: baseballprospectus.com/news/article/8…
A great explanation by @pizzacutter4 for some of the "that seems wrong" feeling we all get looking at projections. There's a related/flip side to this, where teams get worse when they go into sell mode. baseballprospectus.com/news/article/8…
