Daily Patterns in PITCHf/x

By Tangotiger, 04:31 PM

Ooooooh… I like this presentation. You get to see the pitcher’s fastball speed game by game, along with his range within game (those ranges I believe are the 25th to 75th percentiles… if not, that’d be nice to show), along with this vertical and horizontal movements. All on one graph. Very very nice.

His home/road comment may simply be one of data quality.
