Per Rapsodo readings from this offseason, Baragar& #39;s FB has a spin rate in the 2600-2700 range. In 2019, only 12 MLB pitchers had an avg 4-seam FB spin rate >2,600, and only 3 of them were LHP. Spin efficiency is 98% with a spin axis very close to perfect for a LHP. FB is special.
A couple of things related to this thread:
1. My understanding of the lesser mainstream pitch metrics like spin axis, efficiency is at a novice level, so keep that in mind.
2. My ancient MacBook prevents me from recording smooth video and also I don’t know how to record sound.
