Strasburg-type of analysis

By Tangotiger, 11:47 PM

Pitchers-as-batters likely tells us nothing about the pitchers-as-pitchers they are facing.  That is, who cares how well Carpenter and Pineiro do when facing pitchers-as-batters?

Indeed, I strip away all pitchers-as-batters and batters-as-pitchers stats when I compile my reports.  Strasburg in college facing guys with no prospect of MLB action is the same thing: junk data.

That’s my theory.
