If you look at the distance chart you'll also see launch angle. Generally the higher the launch angle the farther you hit it. In golf, research shows that hitting it higher makes it go farther than hitting it lower. Higher angle leads to more back spin and more carry in the air.
What does this mean? Well look at Hosmer. He has a negative angle relative to avg. he keeps hitting down on the ball rather than hitting level or upwards. He's a guy who is strong with a quick bat and he should be able to generate much more power with a slightly diff plane. I'd love to see his launch angle data from October |

Actually I stand corrected. Still not open to the public until 10 so these chumps must get in there early before dudes like me show up. Chumps.

Only 6.8% of Hosmer's fly balls left the yard (league avg is 9.5%). There's no way an AL first baseman with his frame should do that. Hosmer was 21/23 qualifiers at 1B in HR % and 2/23 in ground ball %. |
