hal: All the information is collected by Baseball Info Solutions. I assume the information is fairly accurate. From what I’ve seen it matches up with Pitchf/x pretty well in most cases.

How accurate is the discrimination between pitches? I noticed that some pitchers supposedly don’t throw pitches that they are credited for.

Also, is the velocity data taken from pitchfx data and is the production of that calibrated?

I don’t see any reason to not have the Pitch Type / Velocity for hitters too, right? Would be nice to see what kind of pitches Vlad, Pujols, Beltran et al face, I would think.

I’ll take that back. I didn’t see the velocity columns. Maybe it’s just me, but perhaps a differnt column color for the velocity columns might provide the necessary contrast. Or maybe a line separator?

So very cool…

Great stuff — This is by far my favorite stats related site.

Tom, what would you be looking for in a velocity leaderboard that isn’t in the current one?

Fantastic stuff!

Can I guess that Pitch Velocity leaderboards are forthcoming?
