I read the article about Max Scherzer and was intrigued by the “advanced stat” of strike percentage on 1-1 counts they were talking about, so I spent a little time seeing what it would look like for our guys. I threw 1st pitch strikes on the report just to see how that compared with the 1-1 strikes because in essence it’s a 0-0 count. As you can see, I also ran it for our opponents too.

I’m not sure yet what I think about it, but as always, to me its interesting.

Well Elgin is doing one heck of a job with first pitch strikes.  The other boys need to pick it up.  

 

Based on that and on your stats that in approximately 50% of those instances he comes back with a 2nd strike it would appear he's more apt to pound the zone then the others. Correct?

 

That wouldn't prove anything you didn't know, but it would feed my curiosity..

Yes, Elgin gets ahead of a lot of hitters, and it sure helps.  He’s definitely one of the 2 best at it, and this season he’s doing absolutely fantastic, but Stafford’s been doin’ it for 4 seasons.

 

The curiosity you have is much like mine. Fortunately, I’m lucky enough to have a pretty good sized database, so I can play around a heck of a lot.
