Does MLB.com know how to classify pitches?

By Tangotiger

Not according to Mike Fast. It seems that MLB.com’s nomenclature algorithm has some serious problems. This is fairly strange, since we’ve got some serious analysts doing free work on this issue (you know them all, as I link to all of them), and all the big players (Sportvision, MLB.com) know all of them (I know, since we’re on the same mailing lists).

I’ll ask the head honchos for their reactions to Mike’s claims.
