Could not agree more, Texan! Great input AHSpitcher! Maddux has to be one of the best control guys of all time. That says a lot that even he's only 30-40% on the money, and I bet he's right.

I'll try to chart some mlb games from video tape some time and post the results.

The bottom line is that now that command is measurable (even if it's a little subjective) we can begin to gauge PROGRESS of our pitchers. I love the fact that one of our pitchers went from a 20 commmand rating last season to a 28 so far this fall in our intrasquads. They're not all going to light up the radar gun, so this gives everybody a chance to progress in what probably matters most - command!
