I see you have the pitch in your sheet as a 2-seam and definitely defer to your pitch editing expertise re: if that's the best way to capture the pitch; I mostly am wondering how you handle if someone's repertoire shifts and a previously secondary pitch becomes their pitch 1? Thanks for all your work here, really awesome!

Thanks for the kind words.

Unless a pitcher is a rookie or missed the previous year, I usually do not update pitchers during the season. When the season is over, I will incorporate the changes to their pitching repertoire when I start my edits at the end of this season.

As far as the 2 Seam/Sinker goes, I prefer the 2 Seam to the Sinker because according to Brooksbaseball.net, most Sinkers have more horizontal movement than vertical movement. Montgomery's Sinker has almost twice the horizontal movement than vertical movement.
