Brice Turang Is Leading the Anti-Launch Angle Revolution

[@donwhiteley3293]

The Phillies destroyed Scott Kingery's entire career by trying to turn him into something he's not via their obsession with launch angle. Good on Brice Turang for realize he can't be that type of hitter and going back to what he was able to do so well his entire life. Baseball needs more hitters and players like Brice Turang.

Interesting video, small ball still has its place in the modern game. Exciting to see a big league player going back to the basics and finding a way to best utilize his talents.

Great breakdown! I wish more players had this self realization!

Fantastic video mate. I really enjoyed it and look forward to seeing more content from you.

[@stewart_foster]

Nice breakdown, thanks for the video!

[@paultomaszewski1964]

HR's are great, but even better when there are people on base before there hit. Turang is improving at the plate and more players should really look at what he is doing. Not everyone needs to hit the HR.

Mlb needs more of these types of guys. All or nothing, high strikeout hitters get boring

[@isambo400]

They’re really bad for their teams too if the have a dry streak

Incredible video

Wish you mentioned his weird ass bat. He is permanently choking with a counter weight below his hands.

Line drives are the least likely to be caught

Uploaded by 'Brewer Fanatic'. Nico Hoerner has all of the qualities you ascribe to Turang, but has had a disappointing first half. All in all and over time, however, I think he's a better version.

not as good defensively and not as young

[@rickrose5377]

@@whitemonstrius Huh? Better defensively. Last year's Gold Glove. Nico's 27.

[@whitemonstrius]

@@rickrose5377 turang is 24, turang also is a lefty.

[@rickrose5377]

@@whitemonstrius I know Turang is 24. My point is that having just turned 27, Hoerner's still very young. And what does being a lefty have to do with anything? Over time, I think Hoerner's the better player. Again, spectacular defender. As a shortstop, he led the league in Outs Above Average (a statistic that takes into account range and difficulty of plays), and was last year's Gold Glove second baseman. He only moved to second when Dansby Swanson was acquired.

@@rickrose5377 last year turang had 12 defensive runs saved, hoerner had 8. Turang led the league in Uzr (look it up what that means) and leads the league in double play balls above average and it’s not close. Turang not winning a gold glove his rookie year doesn’t mean anything, and cool, jake bauers can pitch. why would shortstop matter. Gold glove is a mickey mouse award
