Description: Eno and DVR discuss Teoscar Hernández's Home Run Derby win, and how he's managed to do so much more at the plate than Adolis García despite similar strikeout, walk and barrel rates. Plus, they look at spray angles for hitters, and wonder if Anthony Volpe might put everything together in the final two-and-a-half months of the season. Rundown1:23 Teoscar Hernández Wins the 2024 Home Run Derby10:42 Adolis García as a Failed Comp16:36 Year-to-Year Changes in Pull Rate20:24 Can Anthony Volpe Consolidate 2023 & 2024 Approaches?30:10 Kevin Gausman: Trusting Recent Success?34:35 Clayton Kershaw's Velocity Returning in Rehab Starts?36:36 How to Manage Luis Gil & Other Potential Workload Restrictions for SPs44:58 Is MJ Melendez Pulling Us Back In49:59 Rates & Barrels Listener Check-In52:12 Where the Money Went: Hunter Harvey, Rece Hinds & Lawrence Butler1:02:23 Intriguing Drops: Edward Cabrera, Colton Cowser & David FryFollow Eno on Twitter: @enosarrisFollow DVR on Twitter: @DerekVanRipere-mail: ratesandbarrels@gmail.comJoin our Discord: https://discord.gg/FyBa9f3wFeJoin us on Thursdays at 1p ET/10a PT for our livestream episodes!Subscribe to The Athletic: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrelsHosts: Derek VanRiper & Eno SarrisExecutive Producer: Derek VanRiper Hosted on Acast.
