Freddy Peralta is an interesting case study in in-season adjustments since joining the Rays. ⁠
⁠
Let’s break down some of the changes he’s made – and what this can teach us about in-season adjustments. 🤔⁠
⁠
First – and most obvious is that his release side has shifted 4 inches further towards 3B. This was the direct result of shifting his position on the rubber to play up the angles – an intentional change that makes sense given the league-wide positive trend of same-sided four seams and breaking balls.⁠
⁠
📐 FF horizontal approach angle to RHH: -2.59 → -2.93°⁠
📐 Horizontal release angle: -2.96 → -3.70°⁠
📐 Sweeper HAA now at -5.13°, well into outlier territory (Slide 3)⁠
⁠
Let’s take a look at some of the other metrics:⁠
⁠
📊 Extension: 6.5 → 6.7 ft⁠
📊 Effective velocity on FF: 94.5 → 95.5 mph (actual velo: 94.2 → 94.8 mph)⁠
📊 Lower release height from increased trunk flexion⁠
📊 VAA: -4.06 → -3.79° on the fastball, elite territory alongside Kimbrel and Diaz (Slide 4)⁠
⁠
But where does this come from? Take a look at the early lateral tilt generated with the Mets versus the more stacked initial move with the Rays. Among other things, this leads to a more stacked posture into landing and a more forward-flexed trunk at ball release. It also creates better angles to rotate into the lead leg block, helping to explain the slight bump in velocity as well. ⁠
⁠
Looking further into the first move, take a look at the pre-set back leg hinge and the forward trunk posture. Not only does this pre-set him in a more glute-dominant position, but his leg lift now drives him into a coiled position at the pelvis. Instead of leaning backwards into peak leg lift, he’s pre-setting tension, finding his glute, and coiling into a stable back leg without tipping uphill.

Costco, Trader Joe’s, and Vons 🤣 what are your 3? 🙃

How can WBB get more attention on bodybuilding social media platforms?
