MLB trends: One Ronald Acuña Jr. stat that’s dipped, unwanted record could fall and what’s up with the balls?

The 2025 half of the MLB season is fast approaching. Each team will play their 81st game in the next two weeks, then before knowing it, will be all the star break and the deadline for the trade. After that, the postic races will take a long time. The season continues. There are three trends here now worth following when we enter the summer dog days.

Acuña is intelligibly intimidated to grounds

A brave star since his second ACL tears last month Ronald Acuña Junior. It looks like how to win the National League MVP in 2023 at least on a plate. Acuña takes a line of .392 / .495 / .696, and the seven houses go with Wednesday games in Wednesday. The darkness made up with only 8-14 games with 22 games, but it’s not his fault. The team fails to him despite him, not because of him.

ACUÑA has been on the plate itself. However, on the basis, he was much more aggressive than the player stolen 73 in 2023, and it is understandable. Acuña returns from her second torn ACL and didn’t even have been a month since she returned from the affected list. I would be surprised if acuña was not Easy on the grounds, after a large knee injury.

Against the rocks last Friday, ACUÑA just didn’t steal his first base of the season. He tried to steal the first base of the season. He tried 18 games before trying. Moreover, ACUÑA often does not accept the additional base this year, which means that one third of the first to go is double and so on.

The percentage of stolen basic experience is stolen basis, plus for the possibility of stolen stolen (first or second with the next base is useless). In 2023, Pisch clock was imported to the boundary of pitchers.

SPRINT SPEED is actually the best speed of the player. It’s his fastest one second window. Over the years, ACUÑA’s Sprint Speed ​​drop is completely normal. Players are slowing as they age, even Super Athletic 27-year-olds, such as Acuña. Speed ​​is very early at the peak. We see that Acuña is more or less fast as before, last year’s ACL tear. He just uses his speed on fewer grounds.

I doubt that Acuña will work more aggressively, because she is farther from knee surgery, and it can mean not until the next season. I don’t think he won’t steal 73 base again. After two ACL tears, ACUÑA can be resolved in such a way, say, 20-land and 48% of the currency base taken. The value of the impairment is worth it to stay in the field to stay in the field for Acuña and the courage.

Caminero’s double game problem

The post could fall this season, and that’s not good. Play the game on Tuesday, Rays Slugger Junior Caminero is based on a stunning 19 double play, more than any other player. In this season, only six other players have just based on 10 double plays. In 2021-24, the head of MLB on average made 27 double plays. Caminero could get there by the end of July.

The record is 36 double games with the Famer Jim rice hall in 1984. Only 19 times the player has a 30 double play in one season. Caminero has a real opportunity to join that group this year. This year, this year, the fifth, this year’s 73 double-game capabilities (more than two emigration) and first of all double play levels per mile. Here is the leader (min. 40 Opportunities).

1. Junior Caminero, Rays: 26.0%
2. Alec Bohm, Phillies: 20.8%
3. JT Realmuto, Phillies: 20.8%
4. Michael Comfort, Dodgers: 20.0%
5. Adam Frazier, Pirates: 20.0%

The average MLB level is 9.6% double level interest rate, so Caminero almost trifts. Blowing once more than once grossA number of caminero is a class. Double game candidate, because he is not particularly fast, and he hits the ball extremely difficult when the ball is right.

However, the problem of Caminero’s double game in its main environment is a trouble with a minced ball. He took the 47.7% minced ball on Tuesday, is better than 42.1% of the league high and very high for the player who hits the ball as the winds. One of the best in baseball is the average speed of his exit (91.9 mph) and the load level (49.5%). Caminero must vent the ball.

The good news is Caminero, who will turn into only 22 next month, has started doing just that. The speed of his land ball, which was sitting above the first two months of the season, was 40% in the last few weeks. The good trend of Mr. Camerio and the rays, this is:

Because it dropped to the ground ball, production has risen. Caminero hit .242 / .271 / .424 in six households in his first 34 games. He is located at 0.258 / .317 / .583, in the last 34 games of which is 15 houses. Double plays are still there (in its first 34 games and nine in the last 34), but you can sometimes live with twins kill when it comes with about 0,600.

Double plays will probably always be part of the Caminero game, but raising is just a young player that takes the next step in his development. Caminero entered the second best prospect of baseball last seasonA number of he is extremely talented, but it’s a hard game, and it can even demand the most talented young players during the highest level to find their leg.

Now that Caminero gets the ball more often, households and total production comes. This is an elite heavy blow, especially for its age. It helps some extent to ground balls, but the grounds often do not go to an additional basis, and they never go to the fence. Caminero can set a double game record this year. He can also reach 30 Homs as 21-22 years old.

Although dead baseballs do not get rid of

Once again this year something ended with baseball, only this time MLB confessed it than to act on gas. Last week MLB Speaker confirmed to athlete This year, the pull on the baseball is over, and the more weighs mean that the ball does not fly yet. Dating data on 2016 is publicly available with baseball savingAnd this year’s numbers are the highest that they have been from 2016.

“For the last few ways, MLB has published a public online online, which is updated every day during the season.” MLB Spokprerson Glen Caplin told about athleticsA number of “We are aware of the average pulling of this season and provide information on this issue of baseball players in the main League, as our experts have not left baseball production, storage or baseballs.

One theory is that seams are slightly higher or more wide this year, but still within the League characteristics, which are more dragging on the ball. We will not discuss here how or why, however, the fact that the ball does not move this season, which has led to a terrible lot of balls that look out of the bat, only before the bat.

Here’s the average distance of “barrel” that roars with the best combination of exit speed and start corner. Barrels are as good as possible, mostly.

Barrels travel four less feet than last year, on average and seven less feet than 2023. Be fair, these numbers are only mid-June, and those numbers should Get up once we enter July and August, the hottest summer months. The ball is definitely not flying as well as the last few years. Even all possible contact (barrels) do not travel as far as it usually does.

And the point is that the crime was not suffered much if it was at all. This year the league hits. 265. It was last year .243. League slips out.396 this year. It was last year .399. Operates for each game (4.39 to 4.30) and at home (1.12 to 1.08) slightly down, and it can be attributed to the fact that it is July and August every year in July and August.

Each baseball is made by Rawlings, which belongs to MLB, and even small changes in the ball can change the form that is significantly done. Losing four feet barrels is a massive change in the broader scale of the league. You are not crazy. The ball is not carried as well as it did last year. At the same time, there was no significant decline in the crime. That’s right where it was in 2024.
