Scouting Mussina

By Tangotiger, 12:21 AM

Knowing that a guy’s fastball speed has dropped 4mph is an important thing to know.  What you’d also like to know is if the movement on the fastball has changed to compensate.  This is where PITCHf/x comes in.  Similarly, a guy’s fastball could have stayed the same, but if it was accompanied with much less movement than usual, that’s also important to know.  Anyway, great job, and I’m looking forward to seeing more scouting aging patterns among pitchers.

"Think of this place as something like a college classroom. We’re in charge, we pick the topics, we set the rules, and we try to foster as much intelligent discourse as possible. If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we're not going to be for everybody, and we're not going to try to appeal to the masses." —USSM
