Situational Pitching
By Tangotiger, 07:34 AM
I don’t know if I have a very mild or extremely strong annoyance to http://www.slate.com/id/2151273/
While the clutch-hitting question has spawned piles of research, clutch pitching is a phenomenon that’s gone essentially unexamined.
Nevertheless, Andy did examine the issue for THE BOOK, and there is a skill component to it. It might not necessarily be a “men on base” situation, but rather simply a change in pitching motion (full windup v step). And Glavine’s splits are rather incredible.
The peripheral ERA is a little problematic, because things like WP, PB, BK may or may not be included.
