Will he get another movement-related repertoire? or it's field of probability? If he won't, I guess his movement will be low even if he is ready to major, but will be there are smaller effects on HR or GB/FB, etc compare to other pitchers? I believe movement is related to those stats. I wish I could search some similar cases, but hard to found them. Updated Wednesday, December 28 2016 @ 2:09:50 am PST |

Since we can't search on pitch repertoire, I tried a couple of general search criterion. At first I tried youth, searching free agents only for 18 to 26 but that was silly. Essentially, you have to go down the results, open a ton of links, and manually verify number of pitches. After a couple of minutes I found a couple of youngsters, but they didn't have any minor league history. Kevin Atkins Russ Norwood What you WANT to do is is P, 27–3X, Sort by Potential, free agents only. Then take fifteen to twenty minutes manually checking each pitcher in the list. It only took me a couple of minute to pull two more examples: "Kiki" Castellonas Hideo Fukuda With some patience, you could probably find a few more examples of two-pitch pitchers. But I imagine they're rare and not used often by managers. Updated Wednesday, December 28 2016 @ 8:03:00 am PST |
