This swing was really sliced. As anyone who has played golf will say, that will hurt your distance.
I posted this back in 2016 (two years of Statcast data), so is due for an update. But pattern is quite clear.
In case of Judge: lost 40 feet to his slice

With so much of playoff run scoring concentrated in home runs *and* with there being fewer homers due to a de-juiced ball, Iâm not surprised weâve already seen 7+ inning outings from starting pitchers.
Itâs not as much âstarting pitching is backâ as it is âruns wonât occur.â

Among those who did not receive qualifying offers: Clayton Kershaw, Carlos Rodon, Anthony DeSclafani and Jon Gray. The most surprising of the bunch might be Gray. Rockies didnât deal him at the deadline, didnât extend him and now wonât get any compensation at all if he leaves.

Started shifting dramatically midseason, hit more balls in the air than basically anybody, emphasize throwing breaking stuff instead of fastballs, heavily feature SSW pitcher profiles to the point I think they focus on it. All very modern concepts backed by data.
