A new voice with your hitting coaches could help, but if they don't adjust the actual roster, we'll probably see more of the same results next season.

Pitching staffs are never the same year-to-year, much less even similar across multiple seasons, but it's fun to see what has changed in terms of pitch movement. Also, the 2022 staff was just incredible.

DYK: Jose Altuve is one of just 3 players in MLB history with 200+ home runs, 300+ stolen bases, 450+ doubles, and a .300+ batting average. The others are Willie Mays and Derek Jeter. The native Venezuelan is a 3-time batting champion and 9-time All-Star. #HHM

For the first time since 2016, the Astros will not make the playoffs. Cleveland beats the Rangers on a walk-off hit by pitch.

Whatever the Astros do in the offseason, I hope they can somewhat reverse this trend against sliders. Only the Rockies posted a worse Batter Run Value against sliders (-36) this season.
