Was Stephen Strasburg’s velocity loss during his last start atypical? And if so, should we be worried?
Earlier this week, Zack Greinke opposed Rays starter Jeremy Hellickson in his Angels debut. Doug reviews each player’s approach to pitching.
If it doesn’t look like a Twin, soft-toss like a Twin, or pitch to contact like a Twin, it’s probably not a Twin.
Everything old is new again, including Oliver Perez’ stuff.
Max continues his investigation into how starters and relievers and hard throwers and soft tossers alter their velocity depending on the situation and opponent.
The advent and adoption of the PITCHf/x system has changed the way we scout pitchers, and more advances are still to come.
Max examines all the factors that influence pitch velocity, lays out his simple and complex approaches to making PITCHf/x information more accurate, and determines how hard the Nationals are really throwing.
The Nationals rotation throws harder than any staff in baseball has over the past few seasons, and that just might win them the NL East.
