What makes for a good batter/pitcher matchup?
Sky’s very interesting look at the ball-strike count last week made me think about what makes for a good batter/pitcher matchup? For example, fastpitch softball is really boring to me. I love baseball, but the huge number of swing and misses is simply no fun for me. Similarly, if the number of aces in tennis or volleyball was very high, I’d be bored. I want to see some confrontation. Man v Man (or Player v Player).
So, I’d like you guys to answer these questions first, before (or in addition to) posting your thoughts:
1. For every pitch thrown, around what percentage of the time would you like to see the batter swing?
2. For every swing, around what percentage of the time would you like to see the at bat end on that swing (either as in-play, or strikeout)?
