I think I know what Pete’s problem is
Love the pod gentlemen— just want you two to debate my thoughts and observations here because I love Pete but he’s been frustrating me. I’m no scout nor hitting coach, but I like to think I have the eye for these kinds of things. Pete’s swing in the last two years specifically has gotten longer in his load. If you go back to 2019-2022 and watch his hands, it’s just a subtle raise to get to hitting position. If you watch 2023-2024, the separation of hands and body is much more exaggerated when shifting his weight back (he’s also crouched deeper in his stance but that’s not really my issue here). It seems to be the difference from crush pitches to fouling them off or hitting them as tappers back to the mound. He’s having serious trouble connecting on sliders away and seeing them for strikes instead of chasing in the dirt once twice or three times every night. I believe if he quiets his movements and keeps his hands in a hitting position to start, he’s strong enough and has proven in 2022 his ability to take the ball to right center for doubles and home runs or turn and burn on the inside fastball. Tell me I’m crazy or that there could be something here. I just want my Polar Bear back. Thanks guys, cheers.

A must watch for Mets fans. Great insight and deep dive into the stats. Also I love the prospect reports, and as someone who doesn’t know much about that aspect of baseball it’s good to get a weekly update about the younger guys

Since you guys left the Mets umbrella, this show has gotten even better. The analysis is honest, contemporary, and well thought out with visceral reactions. For an out of town fan, this is definitely a real pulse on the team. Thank you and keep it up!
