Throughout the season, Wood’s average attack angle has crept higher and higher. Last year, Wood’s average attack angle was around eight or nine degrees, and to begin the season, his attack angle remained around that mark. But, each month, Wood’s attack angle increased, and in July, his attack angle peaked at 13 degrees. Still, by returning to his more even attack angle, Wood can hopefully cut down on his strikeouts and continue his development. This past month, Wood’s average attack angle decreased from 13 degrees to 12 degrees, and correspondingly, his strikeout rate and in-zone swing and miss rate both also decreased.
