Platoon splits by pitch type
Max wows us again:
platoon pitch
1.12 Slurve
1.08 Sinker
0.80 Heater
0.57 Slider
0.56 Rider
0.41 Cutter
0.27 Jumping fastball
0.21 Rising fastball
0.01 Power change
-0.13 Tight curve
-0.69 Roundhouse curve
-0.77 Straight change
This is adjusted for count and pitcher quality. This table means that RHP sinker pitchers eat up same-handed hitters. But, curveballs lean toward having a reverse platoon split. John Walsh first showed that to us in THT08 (I think it was 08), and it’s a great finding.
