[Intro] Best of luck to James Fegan who is running the Chicago Marathon this weekend!
[2:00] MLB Postseason recap as the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers advance to their respective Championship Series. We've got two Game 5's as Tarik Skubal takes the ball for Detroit against Seattle, and the Chicago Cubs hold their ground at Wrigley to earn a return trip back to Milwaukee.
[6:00] Travis Sawchik wrote a feature story for Driveline Baseball about how power ages for MLB hitters. What he found was a bit surprising as bat speed decreases, power numbers dip, and even plate discipline typically doesn't improve with more experience. The prime power years appear to be ages 22 to 26. So why are MLB teams not being more aggressive with callups to take advantage of a player's athletic peak? And for aging hitters, why Air Pull% is key metric for staying power.
