Good and bad pitchers’ hitting

By Tangotiger, 04:01 PM

Nate takes a look at everyone’s favorite topic.

If Nate is out there, can you add a blog post describing the method? I’m guessing you did component regression. How much did each component regress? Generally speaking, I agree with all his points.

I remember putting out a list of worst hitting pitchers, and, IIRC, I had Ben Sheets as worst hitting pitcher in the league. Actually, let me see… Of pitchers born since 1960, I’ve got Harang as the worst (Nate has him as #2), Davis as #2 (Nate has him #3), Clark #4, Dempster, then Sheets. Don’t know why he has Hill so bad… I’ll have to look into him. Gorze is also bad.
