To your knowledge, has there been any analysis of pitcher injuries in the pitch clock era? I've read a lot of interviews where starters talk about pitching tired more often because of it, and it's not hard to imagine it being a factor, but i'd be curious what that kind of study would entail...

I haven't seen a major study just a lot of anecdotal tales.

I haven't looked into how much his batted ball stats match his second-half .277/.328/.480 slash but i do see improved K and BB rates accompanying that line

Any current MLer you think will be a stronger second contract player v their rookie deal?

Assuming you mean rookies who will have better "sophomore" seasons, I'd say Crow-Armstrong is one, Jackson Holliday another. Colt Keith comes to mind, too.

OK folks, that's enough from me today. Got a whole bunch of things on my plate around the home and some ideas knocking around for upcoming pieces. Take care, and keep an eye out for a possible time change before my next chat.
