Saberseminar Takeaways, Open Command & Sweeper Injury Risk

Several presentations and tools from Saberseminar have us thinking about baseball in different ways. Eno, Trevor, and DVR share a few takeaways and threads to pull on in the future, including the impact of high pitch count innings, biomechanics, and more. Plus, they discuss an impressive tool -- Open Command -- and look at some of the biggest differences across pitchers compared to Location+, and they revisit a previous talk about arm angle and it's relationship to injury, especially when a high arm-angle pitcher utilizes a sweeper.
