🎙️ Inside the No Fly Zone: Could One Change Win Julio a Gold Glove?
with Adam & Robby RobJob – Grand Salami Time

Julio Rodríguez has the range, the highlight plays, and the swagger of a Gold Glove center fielder. But is his current positioning actually holding him back?

In this episode, Adam and Robby dive deep into the "No Fly Zone" — the massive swath of outfield Julio patrols with elite speed and instincts — and ask a deceptively simple question: What if Julio just played shallower?

We break down Statcast data, introduce Grand Salami Time’s exclusive Hits Saved and Runs Saved metrics, and compare Julio's defensive impact to AL Gold Glove front-runner Ceddanne Rafaela. From visual heat maps to fantasy heartbreaks, it’s a full sabermetric case study on how micro-adjustments in positioning could transform Julio’s defensive value — and maybe, just maybe, bring home some gold.

Smart baseball. No fluff. Welcome to the zone.

We are a Seattle Mariners podcast diving into deep analytical stories that you won't get anywhere else... Think Fangraphs or Baseball Sevant, but focused on the Seattle Mariners. You won't get this anywhere else!

In this episode, we dive into one of the most intriguing hypotheticals in baseball: What if Cal Raleigh played his home games at Yankee Stadium? Using spray chart overlays, Statcast data, and park factor analysis, we explore how Raleigh’s power—particularly to right field—might translate in the Bronx’s famously short porch.

We break down how many of his long flyouts at T-Mobile would likely leave the yard in Yankee Stadium, and we estimate how his home run total could skyrocket in a different environment. We also talk about what this tells us more broadly about ballpark effects, player value, and how much context matters in player evaluation. Whether you’re a Mariners fan dreaming of an unleashed Big Dumper or just a baseball nerd into advanced metrics, this one’s for you.

Adam usually gives his mom an eye roll when she offers sports takes—even though she’s been a Mariners season ticket holder for 25 years. But when she told him he had to write about Randy Arozarena’s hot streak, he had to pause. “Yeah, okay mom…” But turns out, she was dead right.

Robby and Adam discuss Randy's scorching hot streak. He’s launched 9 home runs during the 12 games stretch, tied (with Cal Raleigh) for most by any player in MLB over a 12-game stretch this season. Not even Aaron Judge or Shohei Ohtani has done that in 2025. Was his All-Star spot deserved?
