After a disappointing homestand where they were thoroughly outplayed and knocked out of playoff position for the first time in the regular season since June 2022, the Atlanta Braves will head out on a 10-game road trip that could prove to be critical for their postseason hopes. Atlanta has lost five straight games and are now looking up at three teams in the Wild Card standings, which is a gross place to be.

We’re back with another week of the PLV report. This series will use the PLV metrics to contextualize player performance, and this week we’ll use our PLV model (Nick’s primer on PLV from last year can be found here) and subsequent hitter metrics (especially Process+, which you can read about here). With per-pitch quality, we can make Hitter PLV metrics that adjust a hitter’s Decisions, Contact, and Power based on the quality of the pitches they’ve faced. Our newest hitter metric, Process+, combines our hitter stats into a single, per-pitch value metric. Note: Process+ is scaled per-pitch, and values tend to be closer to 100 than they are for wRC+, in both directions.

San Diego Padres left fielder Jurickson Profar left their 9-8 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates early on Wednesday night after he took a pitch to his right leg. In the sixth inning at PNC Park, Profar was drilled below the knee in his right leg by a pitch from Pirates reliever Hunter Stratton. Profar immediately fell down and rolled over before hopping away and slamming his helmet to the ground, clearly in pain.

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber is having a statistically interesting season. Schwarber is the most discussed leadoff hitter in baseball. Even with Schwarber missing time due to injury this season has been different at the plate. On August 7, Schwarber made Phillies history. No other Phillies player in their first three seasons in Philadelphia has hit at least 25 home runs. Schwarber also hit three home runs during that August 7 game. Earlier this season, Bryce Harper had a three-home run game. The 2024 season joins the 1936 season as the two seasons in Phillies history where multiple players had three home run games.
