Hitter optimization

Swing path and decision map

Yandy Díaz's tools (74) outpace production (84) by -10 points. Primary finding: groundball-heavy approach with the raw power to drive the ball — leaving fly-ball damage on the table. Most actionable fix: elevate bat path to increase average launch angle toward 12-18° range.

Launch Angle Too Low
+12.8° Current 3° → Target 16°

Elevate bat path to increase average launch angle toward 12-18° range

Solid = current angle. Dotted = recommended window.
