In this episode of Data Dump, we dive into the advanced metrics behind four key Rockies names:🔹 Warming Bernabel – Contact skills, high swing rates, and surprising power despite a low OBP. Is his approach sustainable?🔹 Kyle Karros – Patient at the plate with an elite walk rate, but can his lack of impact contact hold him back?🔹 Chase Dollander – A true home/road split. His fastball gets hit hard, but the breaking stuff dominates. What’s real?🔹 Carson Skipper – Who is he, and why is he suddenly finding success on the mound?We break down the numbers, compare approaches, and ask the big question: Which profile is more valuable long-term for the Rockies?🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

In this episode of Data Dump, we dive into Zac Veen’s recent AAA surge and what’s changed since his rocky big league stint. While the surface stats look promising — a 105 wRC+, improved ISO, and better K/BB rates — his issues with elevated fastballs still raise red flags? We dissect his swing decisions, zone contact rates, and plate discipline to see if this version of Veen is sustainable.Then, it’s draft time. We break down two lefty college arms — Jamie Arnold vs. Liam Doyle — and stack up their raw stuff, pitch shapes, and how each might (or might not) translate at Coors. Is Doyle’s elite fastball and five-pitch mix worth the risk? Is Arnold’s CH/SL combo a safer fit?We wrap with a look at Aiva Arquette, a big-bodied, power-hitting shortstop who might remind Rockies fans of a certain franchise icon. Does the pop and glove profile fit what this org needs?🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up? Check out StreamYard and get $10 discount! 😍 https://streamyard.com/pal/d/6675237337563136

In this episode of Data Dump, we break down two of the most intriguing Rockies storylines using advanced stats and sharp insight.🚨 Tyler Freeman is showing elite bat-to-ball skills since arriving in Colorado. With one of the lowest whiff rates in MLB and a disciplined approach at the plate, could Freeman be more than just a stopgap? We explore his expected stats, contact profile, and why his gameplan is so consistent.🔥 Germán Márquez is quietly piecing together a solid comeback. With a dominant curveball and a contract set to expire, is he one of the most underrated trade chips on the market? We dig into his pitch metrics, strike rates, and compare him to other potential trade deadline arms.🔍 Get into the numbers with us and see why both players are worth watching closely as the season unfolds.#ColoradoRockies #TylerFreeman #GermanMarquez #RockiesBaseball #MLBStats #TradeDeadline #AdvancedStats #BaseballPodcast #DataDump #RockiesProspects🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
