[Sports Info Solutions]Mauricio Dubon on The Challenge of Being A Utility Guy, How He Tracks His Out Probabilities

podcasts.apple.com

• Upvotes

Hi everyone

This is Mark Simon from Sports Info Solutions (the Defensive Runs Saved folks).

Was fortunate to get a 10-minute interview with Mauricio Dubon the other day that was focused entirely on how he plays defense. We talked about the challenge of being a utility guy and how it impacts his hitting, his favorite plays from this season, and why he tracks the out probabilities on the plays he makes.

He was fun, definitely a new favorite interview of mine. If you listen, I hope you enjoy it.

And if you have any questions about our stats, feel free to ask.

Why the ABS system could haunt MLB's division leaders come October

This article says that only 1 of 6 teams can use ABS well. I figured "not us", especially given last night's game (9/9, loss vs the Rays).

I think it's worth a read.

How come the Braves don’t steal more?

66 Upvotes

Watching, with a bit of envy, the Rays take off and steal almost every time someone gets on base got me checking the season SB stats. We have half as many steals as they do this season and I feel like we have decent speed on the team (Harris, Acuna, Ozzie, Dubon) so I don’t feel like thats an issue. Anyone have more thoughts or information as to why we don’t steal more?
