This is amazing! It answers a lot of questions I had about pitchers. Any way to include their max speed on the fastball? Do 2-seamers count in the fastball column? Is is known how much 2-seam fastballs bring down the overall fastball speed? Sorry, just curious.

I’ve never looked at the major league averages, but it’s a good idea. I’ll run them when I get done with the leaderboards. On that note, Pitch Type should be in the leaderboard section sometime tomorrow afternoon.

I agree that this is fantastic. I was wondering if the major league averages are listed anywhere, for comparison’s sake?

Tom, it’s already there. In parentheses next to the % of the pitch. Going to switch CU to CT as well, good idea!

Any chance you can put average speed of each pitch?

Fantastic!

Note: I’d make cutter CT, as CU can be confused for curve,or ChangeUp.

FANTASTIC! Hands down, one of my favorite sites on the web already just got down right addictive with this new feature. Keep up the solid work and thanks again for always making my day a little brighter.

Ahhh, nevermind. I see that CU is cutter, CB is curveball, and CH is changeup.

Looked at Andy Pettitte’s page to figure this out.
