Behold, the MLB leaders in Exit Velo, a list dominated by Yankees. But it begs a question...

Congrats to the Yankees' Titanic Two -  Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, who grace the Top 14 MLB hitters in exit velocity.

Clearly, when they hit a ball, it stays hut. 

But a question: 

What if, every time they don't hit a ball - that is, they strike out - the Exit Velo is entered-in as "0 mph?" 

What would happen to their 90 mph averages?

Not trying to cause trouble here. I mean, Exit Velo is a fun stat, right? It shows the real sluggers, right? Everybody loves it, right?

Just askin'...

  1. Why don’t we coat Hal, Cash, and Boone with a ton of Vaseline and measure their EXIT VISCOSITY as we kick their arses outta the Bronx?

  2. AA, That is an excellent idea! I second the proposal! All in favor of the motion, say "AYE"!

    Duque, That's what we've been advocating for! Strikeouts should be entered as a "0" exit velocity for that at bat. Otherwise, if Stanton whiffs 400 times, and hits 30 moonshots, he'll have a ridiculously high exit velo. When we know that he is actually a terrible, terrible hitter.

  3. OK OK OK - it has come to my attention that many of you would prefer something more impactful.

    So instead of Vaseline - - - make it Vicks VaporRub.

    Ever notice how many EVO Kings aren't necessarily valuable hitters?

  5. I say AYE!

    Respectfully request a slight modification that involves coating in honey and a huge fire ant colony.
