Do baseball players guess pitches?
Absolutely not. Tons of video work and research goes into planning for facing each pitcher. Hitters will watch video to see where they can pick the ball up, note tendencies, find tips. Guessing is rarely part of a good at bat.
Can a no hitter bunt?
You don’t break up a no-hitter with a bunt. It’s a cornerstone of baseball’s unwritten rules.

What happens if you hit the batter in baseball?

Will Analytics become the new norm in baseball?
The use of analytics in baseball star-spotting will be “the new norm,” according to Wyner. “Analysts have made their mark” in cautioning owners of teams from entering into “bad contracts” that tie up their budget into one player “who just isn’t going to be valuable in the way you expect.”
Do MLB players burn out earlier due to more analytics?
As MLB teams introduce more analytics in their valuation of players, they also have to revisit how they structure the tenure of contracts. Wyner noted a “lengthening of the prime” with top-rated players in tennis and some other sports. However, in baseball, he saw “a regression” where players burn out earlier.
