Sal Frelick: 75.7 mph bat speed on his game-tying home run
His fastest swing of this postseason
2nd-fastest home run swing of his career. The fastest is his only other postseason homer, in Game 3 of the 2024 Wild Card Series (76.3 mph)
Hilariously shallow OF positioning for Jackson Chourio vs. Chandler Simpson
His starting depth here was 244 feet!
Simpson gets played the shallowest of any hitter in the postseason, but the avg. LF starting depth for him is still 265 feet
Swing path tracking for Junior Caminero's double in ALCS Game 4
81.8 mph bat speed with a tilt of only 19° (aka, extremely flat)
He turned on a 98 mph high fastball so fast that he hit it 16" out in front of the plate
Hitters with the most winnable challenge opportunities this season 👇
Still only one guy who's challenged ZERO times: Yandy
102.1 mph triple for Chandler Simpson off an 89.4 mph 2-strike sweeper off the plate from Gavin Williams 🥵
Fun fact: That's the hardest ball Simpson has ever hit in the air
Home-to-3rd in 11.29 seconds with a 29.2 ft/sec sprint speed
If they'd just given Yamamoto the head tap here he would've won. Cruelly denied a successful Postseason Pitcher Challenge 😮💨
Stick Figure Cooper Pratt, awesome baserunning to score on a shallow fly ball
Chourio's fly ball distance: 242 feet
Pratt's sprint speed: 29.6 ft/sec
3rd-to-home tagup time: 3.76 seconds
Harris' throw from LF: 84.9 mph
The Statcast scoop kings are going head-to-head in the NLDS, and this was a good one by Freddie Freeman to end Game 3

Bryce Harper's game-tying home run was gone in 4.7 seconds -- or, a crisp tenth of a second less than the 4.8 seconds he had to get under that fly ball he misplayed
"I've never stepped in the box against myself, but if I had to guess: It tracks as a heater for a long time."

Statcast expert @_dadler is next to me in the Citi Field press box tonight, so I asked for a reading of William Contreras' sprint speed here. His professional analysis: "Fast for him." Adjust your records.
