Colby Rasmus' plate discipline

For those awaiting the exciting conclusion to "The Untradable", you'll have to wait a little longer. I'm having trouble organizing all of the data into something presentable, and I'd like to take a little longer to get it right. In the meantime, let's take a look at everyone's favorite Rick Ankiel buffer, Colby Rasmus.
His first year in the majors had a lot of positives. He played exceptional defense in center field, hit for power, and had like 20 walkoff home runs. In less than a full seasons worth of play, 520 plate apperances, he was an above average player according to FanGraphs' Win Values. However, it wasn't all sunshine and roses. As a player who showed exceptional plate discipline throughout the minors, walking in 11.6% of his plate appearances, he showed a disappointingly hacktastic approach in the majors last year, walking just 7.1% of the time. Even more disturbing is that this may have been intentional. From D. Gould:
Rasmus said he’s supposed to think swing, not walk. He asked rhetorically, Isn’t that what people talk about? Isn’t the benefit of batting in front of Pujols seeing strikes? "I don’t like walking," Rasmus said. "I’m trying to hit."
It seems as though Rasmus decided that, due to the fact he was hitting in front of Pujols, he wanted to swing more often than not. That line of reasoning makes sense only if two things are happening. 1) Hitting in front of Pujols actually manifests itself in more hittable pitchers and 2) If you can make sure that you only swing at those hittable pitches. Swinging a lot is fine if you are getting pitches to hit; however, if you are reaching, then it is a bad thing.
Let's take a look to see whether or not Rasmus actually did those two things last year. First, via Pitch f/x data here are the locations of each pitch that Rasmus swung at and those that he has taken:
This is from the catchers point of view.
As you can see, he swings a lot of pitches down and out of the strike zone, most of them being offspeed (duh); however, his eye across the plate seems to be good. He also has a big cluster of "takes" down and away, which makes sense, and very few over the heart of the plate, which also makes sense.
Now, let's take a look at how efficient he is at swinging at pitches in the strike zone and avoiding pitches in the strike zone. What follows is a table showing the percentage of pitches seen in the strike zone (Zone), the percentage of pitches in the strike zone that are swung at (Z-Swing) and the percentage of pitches outside of the strike zone that are swung at (O-Swing) compared to the league average marks:
| Player | Zone | Z-Swing | O-Swing |
| Rasmus | 50.9% | 73.5% | 25.9% |
| League | 49.3% | 65.9 | 25.1% |
All number from FanGraphs
Indeed, Rasmus did benefit from the Pujols effect (or maybe it's the rookie effect). He's saw more pitches in the strike zone than the average player, and holding true to his statement above, swung a MUCH higher percentage of those than the average player. His eye was pretty decent, as was average in terms of swinging at pitches outside of the strike zone.
So, it appears that Rasmus is doing a pretty good job, at least in terms of taking advantage of hitting in front of Pujols. It would be good to cut down on the O-Swing a little bit, but you could say that about any player, and Rasmus' mark in that category is decent. He has swung at a lot more pitches than the average player, 50.1% to 45.2%; however, he's been swinging at strikes, so it isn't as much of a problem.
What is a problem was that he wasn't getting great wood on those pitches inside of the strike zone. His contact in the strike zone was within .1 percent of the league average mark; however, his slugging on that in zone contact was below average. His BABIP was .283, which is very low for a player with Rasmus' speed and LD hitting ability; however, even assuming a league average BABIP, his bat wouldn't have carried enough umph in it to make this approach work.
Basically, you have to play to your strengths. If Rasmus can continue to develop his power, than swinging at a lot of strikes might work as he would make up for the lower walks with a high slugging. However, if his power remains about average, then he needs to take some more pitches in order to get on base more to compensate. Either way, Tony needs to not bat him in front of Pujols, so he doesn't feel pressured to swing more than he should.
(PS: I had to finish this early in the morning, so sorry for any typos)

Good stuff...
I’m bullish on Rasmus… His season was remarkably similar to the first full seasons of Lankford and Edmonds.

Here are the numbers:
Lankford (BB%, OBP, SLG, woba)
6.8%, .301, .392, .312
Edmonds
9.4%, .343, .377, .320
Rasmus
7.1%, .307, .407, 311
Edmonds and Lankford were both 24… Amazing Rasmus has as much or more power as a 22-year-old.

Great work VeP.
I love this data (from all of the main posters lately) and the somewhat detailed explanation of what it means. Since I’m on that road – great comments lately, too – further explaining “new” statistics that I don’t fully comprehend, but am making an effort to.

Outstanding stuff
Thanks vep, great as usual! Taking a look at his 1st half (270 PAs) and 2nd half (204 PAs) on baseball-reference, I take heart in the improvement in BB%:
1st half – 6.7% of PAs
2nd half – 8.8% of PAs
Couple that with the fact that he saw more pitches in the zone than the average hitter, and it makes me pretty bullish on Corey Rainbow’s 2nd year.

In all seriousness
Raz’s problems (and I only wish I had such “problems”) may be exactly the kind of thing that a pitching coach who preaches both power and discipline can handle.

Those taken and laid off pitch charts are sweet.
He also had a decent but not great 3.62 P/PA. On THT, Mike Silver pointed to Colby’s too-high Swing% (50.9) and his slightly low Contact% (78.6) and said he could be a .300 hitter if he improved one of those.
Mike also said it would be much easier to improve Colby’s contact than his discipline, a statement that seems to stand on shaky ground since it’s possible that his swing% will stabilize somewhere below 50.9. I’ve never heard that contact is easier to remedy than discipline (In fact I thought it was the opposite, where the analogue to pitching would be contact/power=velocity while discipline=control, something players often improve over their careers).

His O-Contact is terrible, 10 points below average
However, his in zone contact is about average.
by vivaelpujols on Nov 1, 2009 5:02 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I'm not sure what the respective "value" of a swing O-zone and a miss O-zone are, however
I guess it varies from player to player, but, from what I’ve heard, especially for guys with a high O-Swing%, making contact out of the zone isn’t necessarily a good thing as it tends to generate a lot of GB and a lot of IFFB.
It’d be interesting to see data as to whether a swing-and-miss out of the zone (i.e. a strike) is actually a better result for most players than a swing and contact (which is presumably going to generate a GB a very high % of the time).
What I’m saying is, it might not necessarily be a bad thing in and of itself that Colby misses when he swings out of the zone more than average (although it may be an INDICATION that his ability to make contact is below average, which may, in itself, be a problem, and might explain why his SLG% on pitches IN the zone was pretty mediocre last year).

You made a good choice and I didn’t even have to say anything. It’s like you knew I wanted to tell you to do anything about Colby.
I think he’ll figure it out this year. I bet Big Mac tells him he’s allowed walk more. And hit more dingers.

Those pitches
low but over the plate. Looks like Raz is about 50-50 swinging and taking on these pitches. In fact, almost all of the pitches Raz swung at outside the strike zone were low. Can’t hit for a lot of power very regularly if you swing (and put into play) a lot of low pitches. If he can learn to lay off those pitches, both his walk percentage and his slugging percentage would go up. Good stuff, VeP.

+1
just from watching, it’s not just the swings, but it seems his weakest swings were at the low and inside, particularly off the plate ones. if he can manage to judge the outside pitches, no reason he can’t learn to judge the low/inside ones. of course, similar comments could be made about luddy, and he has has not shown the ability to adjust to patterns over several years of trying. he is is my biggest hope for improvement from working with mmg.

Those are the most deceptive pitches, and the best pitches a pitcher can throw to most hitters,
so the fact that Colby is struggling there doesn’t exactly surprise me (staying low in the zone is Dave Duncan’s mantra, and he could be the first pitching coach to get into the HOF because of it). I can also think of a handful of left-handers who hit for a good deal of power on those sorts of pitches, especially if they’re the right type of pitches and are just high enough.
I think the strange thing is that despite the fact that Colby swings and contacts a lot of low pitches, he’s not getting DD’d and hitting a ton of ground balls, nor is he hitting a ton of weak popups. He’s got a huge FB%, so he’s getting under pitches and sending them into the OF, which means if he does regain his lost weight while adding a bit of strength, he could really start hitting moar dingerz.

Also, just like pitchers, many hitters (even very good ones) take a few years
for their K/BB rates to start looking like career lines. Arod and Fielder took some time while Utley and Hanley sprung from the minors, K rates and BB rates more or less fully formed.

True.
But linguistically, your system is much, much more difficult.
To wit: in a system which begins with all years ending in zero for the decades, the decade from 1990-1999 is called the Nineties. However, if we begin decades with a year ending in one, the decade of 1991-2000 is called… what, exactly?
To me, the ease of reference of beginning decades with a zero year outweighs the single reference point where the system breaks down. (And let’s face it, how often does one need to refer to the first decade of the Anno Domini designation anyhow?)

As much as I am ecstatic about the award
I can’t help but wonder if that’s the only way to test it. I mean, sure payroll-wise is a good way to start, but consider a team like the Twins, haven’t won anything, but something like 6 Central titles despite trading Santana? However, if you look at overall success, the Red Sox 2 titles look pretty enticing.
Still, with plenty of bias, the Cardinals look like a decent mix of the 2 :)

by Evilfrog on Nov 1, 2009 2:26 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
witherspoon is under contract for two more years
he was traded (probably) because he gets expensive next year. Chillar was recognized as a good player while here and it was really surprising to see him leave, imo. Pisa had a lot of tackles here, but according to FO was among our worst players last year (which is really saying something).
Be it scheme, surrounding talent, or better coaching, there are plenty of things teams can do to make players look better. It’s safe to say the Rams have done few if any of them over the past few years.

fascinating
At the time of the DeRosa trade:
Derosa Hooray but to give up Perez for Derosa? I would rather see him go for Holliday but I guess Billy Beane was delsuional enough to think he could net Wallace for Holliday.
In the long run we are probably better off.
If we don’t win the World Series, we lose this deal
as is the case anytime you give up 4 years for 3 months of valuable players.
That said, Perez had to go. After LaRussa depantsed him on the mound in New York last week, he was in the doghouse. Once in the doghouse, only one man has made it out. And that was Brendan Ryan.

if Cody doesn't hit 2nd, where does he hit?
1st or way lower in the order like 6th or 7th? 9th if Tony puts the pitcher back in the 8th spot?
i thought everyone agreed Cody was the perfect 2nd place hitter for a year or two then he could lead off? what changed? if he leads off, won’t he feel like he really has to get on base then & swing at more unhitable balls?

I like rasmus in the 2 hole
But to me, his speed and the fact he can crank out extra base hits means albert walks to first. Then it’s a wash, rinse, repeat with the past couple years of the bat behind pujols theory(BBPT) I don’t see him other than 2nd, 5th or 6th depending on who we sign and how his approach changes over ST. I hope that the FO has realized the marketability of matt holiday and albert pujols outways a 15+ mil dollar contract IMO. If we sign Holliday I feel that raz would be better in front of pujols for the time being, I’m not sure that Tony would hit Freese 2nd.

I like Razz later in the order,
because he has power to drive people like Pujols and Ludwick in, and if he gets on he’s better off stealing bases in front of BRyan, Yadi, and other average or below hitters who aren’t more likely to put it on the ground than in the stands.

I think 6th.
Hopefully we have whichever FA LF we sign hitting 4th, I like Luddy 5th, then Colby 6th. He’s probably going to be hitting ahead of Molina, who hits a lot of singles, and Colby’s ability to swipe the occasional base could play in that spot.

I was wondering if there were breakdowns of Rasmus before he had health issues, during,and when he started to do better, like the playoffs. Just to see if there is any correlation between the time frames and what he was doing during his PAs?

I haven't actually looked at the numbers,
but just going by memory, I don’t think there’s much correlation. When Colby was the hottest, he didn’t walk at all for a month. Then he got sick, got cold, but walked a little. Then again, he walked some early in the year, and quite a bit later in the season. Someone who has time to run the figures might be able to draw some conclusion, but Colby’s year, at least in my mind, was unusually random.

search the album title plus mediafire, megaupload, or rapidshare. Rapidshare is the last resort. It is a direct download and much faster than torrents. Like for example if I wanted to download the new Jay Z album I would search “blueprint 3 mediafire” and come up with a result to use. And if google doesn’t yield results go to google blog.

Tim, you are such a moron
It’s not a power change-up, it’s a good change-up.
If he were to throw it any slower, it would just be a slow ball and would be easy to recognize as a change-up.
In other words, it isn’t effective because he throws it hard. Rather, it’s effective because it’s thrown hard enough to throw off the hitter’s change-up but not so hard as to obviously be a change-up.

besides, as someone said here
the Harry Potter movies would’ve been more awesome if they’d dwelled on the explosions.
which is so true. not enough shown. there were more explosions later, though.

Buck's multiple sign's comment
reminded me of the summer I spent as an assistant American Legion coach. We had the sign stealing stuff down to a T. As the first base coach, I’d stand as close to the line as the ump would let me, and then I’d converse with the ump while I looked in to see what the catcher was flashing. I’d say 99% of these teams didn’t have a clue to tell their catcher to tighten up and not sit so sprawled out when they gave their signs. Anyway, I’d get the pitch, relay it to the head coach at 3rd (fist= fastball, open hand= off speed). Then he would relay the sign to the hitters, 1st name fastball, anything else off speed. We had teams trying to get creative switching to the crazy hand signals and such. Fun times.

You must play in a league full of nice coaches...
I’d have instructed my catcher to tighten up….only after I put one in the earhole of one of your hitters. Sign stealing is bush league any way you slice it, but having coaches doing it, WHEN THEY’RE OUT OF THE COACHING BOX, is blasphemy.

like this postseason will be remembered as “Arod’s redemption tour.”
You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.

This postseason to me will be remembered
as another year the Yanks bought a spot in the playoffs and made teams pay when they made mistakes (which were plenty between the Twins, Angles and Phillies). As good a team as the Yankees are you can’t make mistakes and leave a lot of men on base and expect to win. Notice I said “bought a spot in the playoffs” and not “bought a championship”.

no way the catcher or LF could cover it
can’t get there in time. has to be the pitcher.
Really, bottom line is that the 3B just can’t let that happen, or more realistically, the SS or 2B should have covered second on the steal attempt so that there was no chance of it happening.
it's Clydesdales vs Goats. Actually sums up Cards vs. Cubs quite nicely. -all4tookie

Unless, of course, the page is designed in the HTML to shrink to quarter-screen size and move from corner to whilst rickrolling you and only bringing up the lyrics after clicking it.

I couldn’t tell you how many songs are on my computer. And I don’t have half my cd’s on it. I filled up the little 4G Sony Walkman my fiance gave me to work with and was pissed that I couldn’t get more on it. Probably half. My list goes from bluegrass to jazz and everything in between.
You're the fail to my win?

If you like the blues,
ever heard of Joe Bonamassa? Phenomenal is all I can say. I’m not ready to hand the crown to him yet, but it’s getting damn close. One of my friends went and saw him at the Pagent last Sunday and said it was mind-blowing what he could do with a guitar. Johnny Lang is another good one, as far as the younger guys. I’m not big on John Mayer, he’s good but he’s also kind of a tool.
If you like jazz guitar, go to DigitalDreamDoor.com they have the 100 greatest jazz guitarists on there that you can sample. I you dig piano music then I suggest Diana Krall. Norah Jones is an obvious choice as well. I really need to Get Moar Funk, I don’t have much of that.

If you like Norah Jones, try Madeleine Peyroux
Lizz Wright is excellent as well. The Derek Trucks Band is excellent if you’re looking for blues, especially those songs with Derek’s wife, Susan Tedeschi.
I look at John Mayer (his power trio stuff) and Norah Jones as gateway artists that bring you just inside the door of their genre and open you up to the possibilities of the genuinely great examples.
I usually go out to Radio Paradise to get introduced to new artists and genres. Bought a ton of CD’s from artists on there that unfortunately will never show up on mainstream radio.

Thanks!
I will have to give those a listen. I think that I have heard of Wright and Peyroux, but it is on the periphery of my mind and couldn’t swear to it.
You are correct on Mayer and Jones. They are not the true hard-core in their genres, but they give you enough of a taste to say: What else ya got?
Ever listen to Vince Gill? A couple of years ago, he put out a box set of four cd’s. All original music written by him, each cd a different type. Rock, country, bluegrass, and jazz. Even if you don’t care for the type, just the fact that he can flow into all different types and do it well is amazing. None of it is mainstream enough to get airplay, which means nothing.

I'm not trying to pimp Radio Paradise
But I really like their format, in that they play so much excellent music by artists that you have at least a passing knowledge of that you just open yourself up to their DJ’s and say, “Just give me whatever you got, I know it’s gonna be good.” I can listen to whatever genre of music that they put out there and experience the style at its highest level, saying, “I’m not sure if this stuff is really my thing, but I can appreciate it for what it is.”
Vince Gill (that’s Amy Grant’s husband, right) was a country mainstay when I was a part-time DJ shortly after high school. For someone that was very popular to put out a work like that, that is not being produced or marketed to feed off his fame, but being driven by his love for the music and his skill at his craft, is rather brave. I enjoy artists, like Ben Harper or Ani DiFranco, that can approach different genres and embrace their facets fully or implement those styles into their own.

My friend said he did this thing with an acoustic guitar,
that he couldn’t even describe. All he would say is that it was the damnedest thing he’d ever seen. He played it every way imaginable and never broke stride.

One more thing and I will shut up.
Have you ever read his bio? Says that when he was seven he could play SRV lick for lick. How sick is that?

Just give the Yankees the damn trophy already
so we can start the hot stove season. This world series has been a bummer and I am ready to see what teams get who or in other terms watch the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
