An inside changeup?
By Tangotiger, 09:59 AM
John looks into how often pitchers throw the inside changeup and how Ted Lilly bucks that trend. I commented on ballhype:
John, can you show Lilly’s previous pitch and location, prior to the CH, and how that compares to the other pitchers?
I will guess that would be one way to figure if he meant to throw inside. How often would a pitcher throw two balls consecutively inside, especially if it’s a FB/CH combination?
Unless you’ve already done it, I think that would be a great article on how pitchers “mix ‘em up”, in terms of distance gap between back-to-back pitches, break, and speed.
