Pop time: Difference between revisions

'''Pop time''', also known as '''POP''', is a [[baseball statistic]] that measures the time it takes for a [[catcher]] to make a throw from home plate to second base during a [[stolen base]] attempt. The measure combines catcher's footwork (the time to get into throwing position), exchange time (the transfer from glove to throwing hand to release), and arm strength (velocity of throw).<ref name="pop">{{cite web |title=Pop Time (POP) |url=https://www.mlb.com/glossary/statcast/pop-time#:~:text=Definition,the%20center%20of%20the%20base. |website=mlb.com |publisher=Major League Baseball |access-date=March 27, 2021}}</ref>
