Many pitchers are trying to learn new pitches to stay one step ahead of the game. Are there certain pitch types that are more beneficial than others in helping keep runners off base?
Following up from last week, we correlate measures of pitch accuracy and swing-outcome data, and correlate them with ERA and Dom. We also combine fastball velocity with second metrics to see if we could improve the correlative connections.
Combining home and away park factors into a single composite measure (and looking at opposition quality) could help with roster and matchup management.
