🎯

Arsenal Sniper

"Find the pitch they crush. Wait for the pitcher who throws it."
moderate
Pitch-type specialist. Reads matchups at the molecular level — which pitches a batter crushes (high RV/100), which pitches the opposing pitcher gets shelled on, and how often they throw it. Doesn't pick power; picks signal. If there's no exploitable arsenal edge, the Sniper passes — even on chalk plays.

Barrel Hunter

"If the barrel rate is elite, the homers follow."
aggressive
Barrel-obsessed power analyst. Hunts batters with elite exit velocities and barrel rates — especially unheralded names barreling up at surprising rates. Believes hard contact is the best predictor of power output, regardless of name recognition.
