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.

Why did I look into this so much and what do I think is gained by these changes?

Well, with less data than your average year I find that a change in production that can be linked to tangible change in approach easier to buy.

Cont.
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.
