MBMavs20 Pitch Edits 2007-2019

[daydayy298]

when can we expect the next update?

[MBMavs20]

I just started working on a new spreadsheet where I will input all the pitch data from 2021.

I have finished the A.L. East and I am currently working on the A.L. Central.

I figure it will take me about 4-6 weeks to finish.

Stay tuned.

Your contributions are very much appreciated by myself and others, MBMavs20. I wanted to ask how you were able to do 1987 pitch edits when data was not readily available ?

That was tough. I bought the Neyers/James guide to Pitchers book and that was a big help.

I also just googled pitchers and tried to find as many articles or scouting reports that mentioned what type of pitches a pitcher threw during their career. some articles would mention their pitch type, some how hard they threw, etc... I also would look for clips on Youtube and the MLB vault.

For pitchers I couldn't find info on, I basically gave them a fastball, breaking ball, and off speed pitch.

Okay. How do you determine pitch break ratings ?

[MBMavs20]

A couple of years ago, I created a chart for the pitches and their break movement.

For example, if you give a curveball a 0 ratings, it will still break about 2 inches. So I worked backwards and created a chart for movement. I also look at the league average for curveball movement.

For Sliders, I try and not go over 60 for a break rating because it feels unrealistic. If a slider breaks that much, like 6 or more inches, I go with a Slurve.

I use a Running Fastball if that pitch has more than 4 inches of horizontal movement. Some people use 6 inches before giving a Running Fastball.

If a Curveball has more than 6 inches of horizontal movement, I go with a Sweeping Curve.

I use Forkballs more than Splitters because most Splitters have a ton of horizontal movement and the Forkball has more horizontal movement than the Splitter. Same with the Circle Changes.

Hope that helps.

What about sinkers/2-seam and changeup/circle change? How do you differentiate them?
