In 2020, I added looking for mechanical/stance changes for hitters to my #FantasyBaseball analysis.
There are likely more out there but here’s a thread of the players who’s changes I made note of in 2020.

I wanted to see if players were running hot/cold or if there could be more to it and seeing changes happening with the data changing as well makes it easier to buy/sell said changes to a point. It’s all part of a larger picture but it’s now a part of my player evaluation process.
