On this episode, Mark Simon is joined by the No. 1 prospect in minor league baseball, Pirates shortstop and center fielder Konnor Griffin, who at age 19, is playing solid MLB-caliber defense right now.
Konnor talked about why he plays the positions so aggressively, what it's been like learning from older players, the hard parts of playing defense, and more.
Mark was also joined by his SIS colleague, VP of analytics Alex Vigderman, who described a project he presented with Joe Rosales at Saberseminar on our pitch-framing metric, Strike Zone Runs Saved. He elaborated on the catchers, pitchers, batters, and umpires who got or called more strikes than expected over the last 10 years.
