Fangraphs keeps on rolling the new stats

By Tangotiger

Want to know what Jake Peavy throws? Go to the bottom of that page: 59% fastballs, 18% sliders, 11% cutters (CU), 2% curveballs (CB), 11% changeups (CH). In the last 3 years, he’s thrown 10,000 pitches. (Minor note: I’d call the cutter CT, as you can easily confuse CU for curve or changeUp.)
