•Spin of the ball off of the bat has been greatly improved with new hit types like curving hits down the line

I really am excited to see more examples of this.

To clarify the quoted portion

The way it worked before, we were basically modelling the spin that would occur if the ball had hit a wall instead of a bat. Given the direction of the hit and the pitch, the cross product became the axis of rotation. This is ok, but misses a huge set of hit types, like curving hits down the line, ........., ....................... there's more to this but can't spill the beans just yet. Wouldn't be a tease if you gave out all the info right? And I had to be very brief in the rewind for flow and consistency purposes. But just know there's a lot more to this.

Thank you sweet baby Jeebus and the baseball Gods above for getting Lindor's face right!!! Haha

Question about curving balls, for Ramone. Do the balls curve on line drives in the air down the lines?

We'll explain it all in a Twitch livestream at some point. But that's all the info we are releasing now.

Music to my ears!

Hopefully the ball will now go all the way to the outfield wall on hard hits down the line and also fixes all those little dribblers in front of home plate. And those tiny popups at home plate where the catcher can so quickly get up and makes the catch. And more choppers and bloop hits as well.

At the end as well but Yankee Stadium and the homer dome I think are the only classic ones. We will have to wait for the others. Pure speculation on my part but I wouldn't be surprised if Ebbets Field makes the list - the place where Stan Musial acquired the nickname "the man".

Nice. Nothing like some new info on The Show to make the winter go faster. March can't get here fast enough.
