Clayton Kershaw is undoubtedly going straight into the Hall of Fame when he's done playing....but how much does he still have left in the tank? Let's dive into some key numbers for the soon-to-be Free Agent: 2023 Season: ERA: 2.52 K%: 26.3 BB%: 7.5 xWOBA: .302 Career: ERA: 2.48 K%: 28.9 BB%: 4.7 xWOBA: .262 So, what do these numbers tell us? Well, in addition to the fact that Kershaw will pitch more innings this year than last, he has shown he can stay healthy while maintaining remarkable consistency in his excellent performance. Now, the standout decline has come in the form of his Fastball Velo, which is to be expected given his age. How has Kershaw adjusted for this? By wisely increasing his SL and CB usage, which has allowed him to still generate high whiff rates, continuing to post above average seasons into his age 35 season. So, do you think Clayton Kershaw will continue commanding $20MM AAV? Why or why not?

When a player is over the age of 35, especially with a long injury history, what are the metrics that teams can look at it to identify how the player is still performing compared to their historical precedent? Baseball Connect is here to help.

Heads or Tails? What would you pick? #DidYouKnow... #FunFact The coin is not your ordinary quarter; rather, it’s a specially designed coin that weighs the same every year, about one ounce. Of the 57 teams that have called the coin toss before the #BigGame, only 25 have called it correctly. The Super Bowl coin toss winner has gone on to lift the trophy only 24 times in 57 Super Bowls (42.9%). The last team to win the coin toss and win the game was the Seahawks against the Broncos in Super Bowl 47. In the entire history of the #SuperBowl coin toss, tails has come up 30 times and heads has come up 27 times. In the last six Super Bowls, heads has come up four times. There has only ever been one OT coin toss won by the New England Patriots. The NFC once had a statistical anomaly of calling the coin toss successfully 14 straight times. So, what will it be Kansas City Chiefs? No pressure.

Wow, exciting news to hear that Jerod Mayo, a former star player for the New England Patriots, has just become their new head coach! At only 37, he's the youngest coach in the NFL and the first Black head coach for the Patriots. Really great reading the responses from current and former NFL players which shows the amount of respect he has across the league. Mayo was an amazing player after the Patriots picked him in the 2008 NFL Draft. He even won the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year award that year. He also helped the Patriots get to the Super Bowl XLVI. Mayo's transition from a celebrated player to the youngest and first Black head coach for the Patriots demonstrates a shift towards embracing more diversity in leadership roles. I think even more interesting is learning that owner Robert Kraft had a special plan to make Mayo the head coach and succeed Bill Belichick for a few years now, so he moved quickly, without a long search. Now, what can we learn from this appointment by Robert Kraft & the New England Patriots... and what does it mean more broadly, as someone who values diversity and inclusion? 📣 Merit-Based Opportunities: Mayo's appointment based on his skills, leadership qualities, and past performance as a player and coach highlights the importance of merit-based opportunities in talent acquisition and promotion. 📣 Long-Term Planning for #Diversity: The fact that Robert Kraft had a vision for Mayo's succession indicates strategic long-term planning. Organizations can learn from this by identifying #Diversetalent and #NurturingTalent with potential for leadership roles early in their careers. 📣 #InclusiveLeadership: Mayo's widespread respect across the league, as indicated by the positive responses from current and former NFL players, shows the impact of inclusive leadership. Organizations should encourage leaders who can command respect and unify diverse teams. 📣 Breaking Barriers: By appointing the first Black head coach in its history, the Patriots have broken a significant barrier. Organizations should be aware of existing barriers in their structures and actively work towards breaking them to create more #InclusiveEnvironments. 📣 Visibility and #RepresentationMatters: Mayo's role as a young, Black head coach can serve as an inspiration to many, showing the importance of visibility and representation in leadership positions. This can encourage others from diverse backgrounds to aspire to similar roles. 📣 Proactive and Decisive Action: Kraft's swift action in appointing Mayo, bypassing a prolonged search, demonstrates the effectiveness of proactive and decisive action in #PromotingDiversity. What is your current priority in taking steps to foster a culture of inclusivity and merit-based recognition in our own workplaces?
