Pitch analysis of Eric Bedard

By Tangotiger, 10:35 AM

Mike Fast, looking to take over John Walsh’s 2007 mantle of “Tango’s Hero of the Year”, checks in with Erik Bedard.  He put in a graph of “reaction break”, or “late break” as he calls it.  You’ll see that the results are the same, except the scale makes the breaks tighter.  I don’t think anybody talks about 3 foot drops on the curve ball, but a 15-inch drop makes more sense.  Basically, the scale is chopped in half.  Also, the breaks of the curve ball are more clustered using the late break viewpoint than the other way it’s been done.

I don’t know how the heck these guys find all this time to do this stuff.  Thankfully for us, they do.
