In my ideal universe, every stadium would have deep alleys in right-center and left-center for maximum triples.

this was a very good one bailey, however i’m not sure if the 27 minutes you spent talking about how thick Evan Gattis’ glutes and thighs are was really family appropriate

Short answer is that you can find this info in the Statcast search. Here's the link for 2022: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast_search?hfPT=&hfAB=&hfGT=R%7C&hfPR=&hfZ=&hfStadium=&hfBBL=&hfNewZones=&hfPull=&hfC=&hfSea=2022%7C&hfSit=&player_type=pitcher&hfOuts=&hfOpponent=&pitcher_throws=&batter_stands=&hfSA=&game_date_gt=&game_date_lt=&hfMo=&hfTeam=&home_road=&hfRO=&position=&hfInfield=&hfOutfield=&hfInn=&hfBBT=fly%5C.%5C.ball%7Cpopup%7Cline%5C.%5C.drive%7Cground%5C.%5C.ball%7C&hfFlag=&metric_1=&group_by=venue&min_pitches=0&min_results=0&min_pas=0&sort_col=slg&player_event_sort=api_p_release_speed&sort_order=desc&chk_stats_abs=on&chk_stats_hits=on&chk_stats_slg=on#results

I will admit that I've only really become aware of advanced statistics like BABIP through Foolish Baseball (thank you Bailey), so maybe this is an ignorant question, but ... does MLB or Statcast or whoever track slugging percentage on balls in play? I'm curious to know if parks like Coors, Comerica, Oracle, etc. have higher SLGBIP or whatever than other parks. Overall another great video, and Bailey I thought you really handled the tone shift well. I didn't know that part of Gattis' story until today, but I commend him for his perseverance and his honesty and I hope that he can serve as an example for others. If you need help, seek help. If you know someone who needs help, help them get that help. And don't stigmatize those who need or seek it.
