2024/04/23~2024/04/28 Week 5 Baseball Recap: Vocational High School Standings and Player Analysis

Week 5: 2024/04/23~2024/04/28

Preview

Watch the game every week and talk about the big and small things of the six teams in front of Kaohsiung MRT Station O3, we will talk about vocational high schools.

Luckily I didn’t drop it all week.

In week five, before the game even started, many big players were predicting that “Ryan would play and shut up”. Fortunately, there was baseball to watch.” Many times I would like to say, rain can be heavy, please put water in the right place at the right time, please be merciful to those who let into the sea directly after the rain.

It is said that the income from reservoirs will remain limited in this wave of storage capacity.

The announcement of the government order has been completed and it is time to return to the game.

In the fifth week, the overall performance of hitters increased slightly. Long hits are always flat, while home runs are widely distributed, either those who hit them all the time or those who don’t know how to hit them. As for pitchers, there are good pitchers for every bad hitter. In week five, good pitchers win more, and poor pitchers win less.

In this way, by the end of the fifth week, the position of Tongyun alone has not changed, everyone has the same win difference in the first place, 5.5.

The main reason for this is that the high-level brothers, Uni-President and Wei Quan, hurt each other in the fifth week Wei Quan was defeated by Fubon due to a line problem, while Lotte avoided the real situation and hit the weak point in the table to win the game. just to start, the current league table looks like this:

To be honest, it’s a bit difficult to keep up with the difference of 5 games so far Although we all know that there are teams that have gone from +7 to -4, but judging from the united line, if they do not have the foreign starting area. fall apart, they can’t catch it Maybe it’s decomposed in the air… right?

Although I want to be sure, in baseball, nothing is 100%, otherwise football would not be fun. In short, the summary is here for now, let’s continue to describe the pitching data, as usual, starting with the hitter.

Chapter Hitter

Before I continue, I must explain: In the fifth week, 4 teams played only 3 games In this level of competition, luck often controls everything, but The god of baseball is pretty good later on.

Let’s get back to the point, let’s talk about Lotte first.

Lotte… I don’t know if I should say it’s good or bad.

In the fifth week, Rakuten’s share of horizontal flying balls showed a clear upward trend, and the number of vertical flying balls up and down (pop-up) also decreased.

In the fourth week, they had the most home runs in the league, and could hold their slugging percentage at .257 By the fifth week, their slugging was completely dead, without a hit in three games in one week, and their IsoP dropped to fifth in the league, only slightly better than Fubon, one .056 and one .053, which is actually “slightly better “.

The next thing to ask is, should Lotte correct the hitting point and swing angle first, and then pursue long shots, or should they just give up on long shots? for return hits.

In addition, Coach Fukubo’s tactical logic always makes me feel amazing you predicted it and you predicted me. “I don’t know if I want to stop hitting, so I asked Yan Hongjun to continue,” or some other idea, Lotte is still making sounds about hitting With long hits, come the hits in time, so the scoring efficiency has not decreased.

Lotte is still in the position of being a long-term hit supplier.

Lin Chengfei was better at hitting straight balls last year and not as good at hitting changeups. As a result, his batting average on straight balls is less than 20% now. it means if you throw balls straight in and you hit it you get two good balls quickly, and then it’s lower Throw a slow pitch somewhere and you have a chance to strike. Although there aren’t many side shots to prove it, from a landing spot perspective, his landing spot is a little off to the other side. He might follow the ball a little further to deal with the changing ball. The problem is that it is not good enough to be able to hit the ball because of this by choosing slow balls from outside corners or low angles greatly losing the advantages without solving the deficiencies.
