I’m much more into the mechanical issues of hitting and the swing as opposed to analyzing statistical changes, but it is obvious something is going on with Giles this year
He’s been one of my favorite players since he first came up to Atlanta so I have video of him going back over the last few years. I did some searching and comparing and came up with this:

Of course this is one swing from last year and one from this year, but I the change definately raised an eyebrow
Would like to hear thoughts/comments/observations from others
