00:00One of the bright spots for a struggling season to begin for Atlanta,
00:04Spencer Schwellenbach.
00:05He is on the bump today against the Jays with the Braves,
00:08an ever so slight favorite, but basically a pick-em.
00:11What is your prediction for what we see in Toronto?
00:1438 degrees up in the sixth tonight.
00:16Good thing they got a dome there, so that's not going to factor in.
00:19Neither will the windy conditions at about 17 to 18 miles an hour
00:21if that roof was open, but it's not.
00:24But understand this, Spencer Schwellenbach on the early season
00:26of Major League Baseball has been nothing short of fantastic.
00:29Take a look at his walk rate, 2.9%.
00:31K rate, 28%.
00:33Iso power number against 0.60 and a weighted on base percentage of 1.80.
00:38Ground ball percentage, 58%.
00:40Absolutely spectacular.
00:41Now let's take a look at some of those analytical numbers.
00:4320 innings pitched so far in this early season for Schwellenbach.
00:46You look at the ERA, which again, isn't an analytical number.
00:49It's just a baseline for people that say, you know what?
00:51Can you mix that analytics in with some regular numbers we understand?
00:540.45 ERA.
00:56How does that translate to his XFIP number?
00:572.46, spectacular.
01:00Take a look at that lineup tonight for the Toronto Blue Jays
01:02and just the ISO power numbers.
01:04And you say, what's isolated power mean?
01:06Extra base hits that these guys can hit.
01:09165, 170 is the normal average number in Major League Baseball.
01:13Against right-handed pitching to start this Major League Baseball season
01:16for Toronto, Bichette, 0.91.
01:18Vlade Jr., 0.62.
01:20Santander, 0.87.
01:22Kirk, 0.28.
01:24Wagner, 0.27.
01:25Clement, 0.
01:260.48 for Nathan Lukes.
01:28Roden, 0.59.
01:29The only guy positive in the middle of that lineup is Andres Jimenez at a 275 number.
01:34So you're telling me one guy is positive with ISO power number out of nine at-bats
01:38against a kid that's absolutely cruising early season?
01:41I don't even need to see the opposite side with Gaussman.
01:44I'm not looking towards the Toronto Blue Jays, only towards the Braves for me.
