STAT OF THE WEEK - Jump
Jump is a Statcast metric that shows which players have the fastest reactions and most direct routes in the outfield. It’s defined as: “How many feet did he cover in the right direction in the first three seconds after pitch release?” (via MLB)
Jump can be broken down into three components.
• Reaction: Feet covered (in any direction) in the first 1.5 seconds. Think of it like a way to measure first step.
• Burst: Feet covered (in any direction) in the second 1.5 seconds. Think of it like a way to measure acceleration.
• Route: Compares feet covered in any direction to feet covered in the correct direction over the full three seconds.
