Re: BRASH WATCH

Bad Luck for Brash
The Athletic had this interesting tidbit about Matt Brash :
" If you’re Matt Brash of the Seattle Mariners, you don’t have to imagine it. Brash has, by just about every metric, made marked improvements this year. But he’s still giving up runs. How?
Corey Brock has the full analysis, but the short answer is he’s been extremely unlucky, giving up a .519 BABIP (batting average on balls in play). League average is around .300.
So, what can Brash do to change his luck?
Scientifically speaking, nothing. Regression sands down outliers, and this is a weirdo outlier of the highest order."
