Quality of pitchers by count

By Tangotiger, 02:40 PM

I liked this chart here:

count    fip
0
-2     3.88 
1
-2     3.90 
2
-2     3.92 
0
-1     3.92 
1
-1     3.94 
0
-0     3.94 
3
-2     3.95 
2
-1     3.96 
1
-0     3.96 
2
-0     3.99 
3
-1     4.00 
3
-0     4.01

So, the quality of pitchers that find themselves in the 3-0 count is a FIP of 4.01.  And those who find themselves in 0-2 counts have a FIP of 3.88.

It’s clear we expected some bias, and in the direction that we see.  Now, we know the extent of this bias, which is great stuff from Josh.
