How Coach reads a game

Coach watches every plate appearance through a 75-state lead-aware Markov chain trained on 2.6M historical plate appearances. Pre-game forecasts pull from starting-pitcher FIP, lineup wOBA, park, weather, and bullpen depth. Live forecasts update with each pitch — model output, no gut feel, no pick-of-the-day.
