Hey SP thanks for the link. They have all kinds of great stuff on this site. A great resource.

GBM:

Take a look at this.

Now go down through and look at pitchers who have a plus FB with a CU that is used less than 6% of the time. I will help you out a little on some of them.

Edwin Jackson
Clayton Kershaw
Zack Greinke
Roy Oswalt
Matt Garza
Roy Holladay
Chris Carpenter
Joba Chamberlin

That should answer your question. Now go to the bottom of the list and look for someone with a below average FB using a CU a lot....there are a couple Moyer and Buehrle but that is it.

Everyone talks about Cole Hamels CU but guess what he throws a 90MPH FB 60% of the time. I did not realize he threw such a hard FB until looking at this site. Interesting stuff.
