Season percentile report
The headline weighs outcome stats (xwOBA, barrels); each bar averages its full strip group below. 100 = best in MLB.
percentile
Preseason / current pace / Bayesian update
Rolling bands shrink current-season signal toward the preseason prior until the sample earns more weight.
| xwOBA preseason | 0.351 |
| xwOBA current pace | 0.368 |
| xwOBA rolling p50 | 0.362 |
| Observed weight | 66% |

SEAGER+ and decision components
SEAGER+ is the promoted plate-discipline index; component rows marked rebadged research are visible diagnostic context, not standalone promoted metrics.

Live snapshot series; true 50/100 PA windows require PA-level logs
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.
