Decoding Guerrero’s Bat Speed Advantage Ahead of Pivotal ALDS Game 3 vs. Rodón

As the American League Division Series heats up, all eyes are on the crucial Game 3 matchup featuring slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. against pitcher Carlos Rodón. Analysts are scrutinizing every angle, and a deep dive into Guerrero’s performance this season reveals a key metric: his bat speed.

Throughout the current season, Guerrero has faced a formidable lineup of 25 different pitchers, including top aces like Jacob deGrom, Garrett Crochet, and Cristopher Sánchez. His recorded bat speeds against these elite arms have ranged from a low of 73.5 mph to a high of 80.2 mph. This variability isn’t just about pitch velocity; it often signals a batter’s confidence in anticipating pitches, improved plate discipline, or a combination of both. For Game 3, Guerrero’s ability to maintain optimal bat speed and make solid contact against Rodón could be the decisive factor in swinging the series momentum.
