On this episode of the Sports Info Solutions Baseball Podcast, Mark Simon ( @markasimonsays ( http://twitter.com/markasimonsays ) ) is joined by Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins ( @cedmull30 ( https://twitter.com/cedmull30 ) ), who is having a breakthrough season. Mullins talks about his favorite play from childhood (an unassisted triple play!) (1:00) and what goes into making some of the great catches he’s made (he walked us through several) (1:44). Mullins also talks about self-awareness and the understanding that giving up switch-hitting could help make him a better hitter (6:58). *Cedric Mullins Highlights* - Catch vs Kiké Hernández ( https://sporty-clips.mlb.com/93560793-fccd-4935-b95f-f232d2b50998.mp4 ) - Catch vs Nelson Cruz ( https://sporty-clips.mlb.com/0e311090-8a91-4395-b804-e5bc7a351d05.mp4 ) - Catch vs Amed Rosario ( https://sporty-clips.mlb.com/68edec4e-b0ed-4329-8b37-98f6c66daed3.mp4 ) - Catch vs Jonathan Villar ( https://sporty-clips.mlb.com/2e5e46b9-7a0e-45f2-ac02-ebcdc86a4faa.mp4 ) Mark is also joined by Adam Darowski ( @baseballtwit ( http://twitter.com/baseballtwit ) ) of Sports-Reference.com to discuss the Baseball-Reference project – The Negro Leagues Are Major Leagues ( https://www.baseball-reference.com/negro-leagues-are-major-leagues.shtml ) – in which the company added a considerable amount of statistical information to its databases and incorporated it as stats equivalent to the National League and American League (11:19). Adam talks about why the site took on the project (13:57) and some of the many cool statistical discoveries that can be made with a few clicks of a mouse (16:42).
