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

Swing path and decision map
Ernie Clement's tools (40) outpace production (58) by -18 points. Primary finding: expanding the zone too aggressively — generating weak contact and whiffs on pitcher's pitches. Also flagged: Launch Angle Too Low. Most actionable fix: elevate bat path to increase average launch angle toward 12-18° range.
