Hey there, everyone — welcome to the Down on the Farm Podcast. Host Bryan Grosnick will be covering an assortment of topics related to minor-league baseball with some of the game’s brightest minds from inside and outside the industry.
For our first show, Bryan visits with Eli Ben-Porat, proprietor of his own Substack newsletter Eli’s Baseball Research, and the two discuss Eli’s recent research into pitch movement synergy. Not only do they discuss the theory around how pitchers make their offerings look similar, they cover how their work is different from what’s come before, which pitch pairs tend to synergize the best, and a few minor-league relief candidates who could break out this year due to their solid synergy.
There’s a lot more to come in the podcast this year, and you can expect to see us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts sooner rather than later. Check it out!
