Taking raw swing rate is too reductive pitchers react to opposing tendencies, so a swing-happier team might see more pitches outside the zone, and thus swing less, without changing their approach. I don’t know for sure, but I’d say 29% is awfully high.I decided to come up with a test case for aggression to sort things out: swing rate at first-pitch fastballs in the strike zone. Your 4,5,6,8,9,10, and 11 hitters on that list all exceed that percentage. When I run the numbers, the average strike out percentage for those players is 29.1%. How would your players rank in OBP and BABIP? 125 (he was 2 for 6 saturday though in our one day tournament with a lot of work that weekWhen you say “average wise”, are you saying that’s how you judge the hitters, so the best hitter is the player with the highest BA? 373Ħth = 21k / 41 at bats 9he either hits or strikes out (because he only has 4 walks)ġ0th = 7 k's 22 at bats (joined team late)ġ1th man=27 k's in 48 at bats.and batting.

Here's one sample slice for you.others can weigh in with theirs.my team and we are a shade over. Do I always discuss it with them? No, most of the time they self diagnose that stuff, especially if I have taught them like Jett is talking about above, to have a plan when they get in the box. I am noting mentally whether they should have swung or not and why I think they swung if it was not a good pitch to hit. No matter what else is going on, I am watching my batters and the swings that they take at the plate. That to me is diagnosed by a coach, watching the game well before stats pick it up. I need to know whether the player is swinging at good pitches or not. The fact that you can break it down by count is great, but location is the most important part to me. He is 4th from the bottom at % of swung at contacted on page 1. He is 2nd on the team on page 1 at % of swung at contacted.īack on page 4 you have Josh Adams, second on the team with runs created at 58.63. On your miss% sheet page 4 you have JQ Folena with a Runs created of 85.24. It was something for them to do when they weren't doing their work for the night and it advanced their knowledge of the game. That is why we kept charts of it when we had bullpen pitchers. For swings and misses to be useful, you have to know if the ball would have been called a ball or a strike regardless of swing. But I could easily have the scoring program track it in real time and for sure kick out a detailed report after the game on that one game as well as how the numbers looked for all the games.Until you can put pitch location in your program like in the majors, you will not spit things out that are useful. I’m fairly sure if that’s something they were concentrating on and paying a lot of attention to they could, but there’s a heck of a lot of other things going on diverting attention for something happening in such a small percentage of pitches. I’m not so sure many coaches would have diagnosed those problems by eye before stats would show them. At the level I score and run numbers for, charting pitches is pretty rare. I can break it down by count, but not by pitch type and location. I’m not disagreeing, but can you tell me which attachment you’re looking at, and what page? Just talking how often in a PA, or how often in all his PA, does he swing and not make contact. That's baseball.īut, when is it too much swinging and missing? When is it the normal amount? There will be times where he will swing and miss. Mommy thinks "What are you doing wrong!?" But, Mommy doesn't realize there's a pitcher out there, and, he's pretty good and trying to get her kid out. Now he's on the big field and swinging and missing. Mommy might see Little Slugger playing Little League and he never swings and misses. But, what's the acceptable normal level per age? Kids are going to swing and miss more as they get on the bigger field and move up the ranks.13U, 14U, 15U, etc. 600 and almost never swing and miss.īig field. What would you consider a normal swing and miss percentage, per age, per swing?
