Reply to "First Pitch Strikes"

BOF10,000+ posts

Just saw this on my other favorite baseball website

and thought I would share it. Joe Sheehan has done a nice job of categorizing the class of pitchers and hitters and the pitches they see and throw.

The real interesting part of this article is in the imbedded link in the third paragraph to an article by Sal Baxamusa. It is about first pitch strikes and batters success rate on 1-1 pitches put in play. It is actually higher on a 1-1 count that got there by ball - strike.

OK...... I relent.....lets now change the thread to "first pitch balls"
