## Resource

Bat tracking metrics can be very overwhelming BUT they are a big and important part of the game. Baseball Savant recently dropped a new evolution of bat tracking metrics which includes at least 6 new metrics. Between missed timing and missed distances, Mike Petriello joins the show to discuss how these metrics can change the game.
