I get this research packet from a friend that works at MLB occasionally, if anyone is interested I can continue to post these when he sends them to me. Some pretty interesting stuff in here usually

Example,
Joey Votto is slugging .459 entering today, the lowest slugging percentage of his career through May 4th. He has been patient and selective as usual, seeing an average 4.5 pitches per plate
appearance (3.9 league average). Working deep into counts allows Votto to reach base on balls 19% of the time, but his power numbers aren’t so good. He is slugging .243 (18/74) on late counts (.316 league SLG) compared to .914 (32/35) on early counts (.515 league SLG). Early counts are 0-0, 0-1, 1-0 and 1-1; other counts are considered late.

Edwin Encarnacion now has 10 home runs in his past 12 games and has hit 14 in May. The last player to hit 14 or more home runs in May was Barry Bonds in 2001 (17).

It's a shame that Cespedes throw took away from Coco's home run stealing grab. Both were phenomenal plays.

Those throws reminded me of rookie if the year when he threw from the bleachers to home plate.

"What the hell was that kid!? Are you trying to show me up!?"
