We'll review concepts like spin rate, spin axis, spin efficiency, active spin, Magnus effect, and gyro spin, and how they relate to the Corbin Burnes Brewers. The Milwaukee Brewers are lucky to have a Corbin Burnes Cy Young winner on their team, that's for sure! This episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, will also focus on Corbin Burnes cutter. Is this the best fastball in MLB right now? It's pretty darn effective. We'll compare it to other cutter offerings from pitchers like Kenley Jansen and Mariano Rivera. Justin Verlander and Mookie Betts also make cameos in this one. ________________________________________________ Betts on picking up spin: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/what-can-hitters-actually-see-out-of-a-pitchers-hand/ Corbin Burnes on his cutter: https://www.mlb.com/video/corbin-burnes-on-his-cutter CSW Rate: An Intro to an Important New Metric: https://www.pitcherlist.com/csw-rate-an-intro-to-an-important-new-metric/ Soundtrack by William Kage: https://www.williamkage.com/

So there I was, finally getting kinda comfortable with advanced metrics ... and then you casually go and introduce a few more. There is simply no stopping your data dives. We can only hope that you continue to make videos like these so that we can come along for the dive. Amazing video as always, Bailey. Did you also consider putting an in-video link to the Verlander video since that sets up the conversation on spin rate?

I think this is your best video yet, Bailey. Incredible job making it informative and entertaining. Burnes is the perfect candidate to show baseball physics do in fact work, and the players that incorporate this information will likely become the best. Awesome video, looking forward to the next.

Taylor Hensley

Excellent video. Thank you for making.

Garrett Sutherland
