About Vlad and spin, a year after the Sarris interview you excerpted, Dr Nathan published the results of a study demonstrating that baseball sidespin did take away from flyball distance. So no need to speculate that baseball is a game of millimeters or that it’s hard. It’s now proven by science!

Just a down year. It’ll work out. I hope. Sigh. Would winter feel shorter and less bleak if we’d won? I’d certainly like to give it a try. For science.
No worries. Dr Nathan’s work doesn’t get enough attention so like to steer people his way whenever I can. The real fun is his conference papers and research he publishes on his website. Can even play with his Trajectory Calculator
Thanks, Stoeten, for the off season content.

Great catch. Thanks man.

In addition to stuff like sidespin, you can specify atmospheric conditions to calculate an estimate batted distance. Nerd heaven.
