Pitch Data

By Tangotiger, 12:25 PM

Cool article on MLB.com Here’s but a little snippet:

Zumaya’s final three strikes thrown to Alex Rodriguez in the eighth inning of that game, according to the Enhanced Gameday showing speed at release and then speed crossing home plate, were as follows:

102.5 / 93.4
102.2 / 91.9
100.2 / 90.7

And the data for the holy grail:

In the future, this technology could lead to such advances as camera-mapping of the entire field, so that the complete movement of every player in every inning can be captured and then depicted in ways that benefit coaching of defense, baserunning, umpiring, pitching mechanics, self-analysis by players and more.
