Totally forgot to come back since being out of town for awhile.<BR/><BR/>I was looking at the pitch f/x tool that can isolate the pitches, result, velocity, count, etc. <BR/><BR/>My fault for not using the same data set to compare or make my comment.<BR/><BR/>As I said before I am still trying to figure some of this stuff out and should probably do more homework.Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929170896922110691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241716.post-50712150360094886572008-01-22T11:30:00.000-05:002008-01-22T11:30:00.000-05:00I think Taylor's point was that Affeldt's control ...I think Taylor's point was that Affeldt's control problems are due to a complete lack of control... :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241716.post-47933185103521237642008-01-21T13:25:00.000-05:002008-01-21T13:25:00.000-05:00Taylor, can you be more specfic?

I don't really have a good sense on what a good release spread looks like or if we should expect tighter plots of movement data.<BR/><BR/>Your comment suggests you do.RedsManRickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585911809169263164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241716.post-42296644571412246412008-01-21T13:09:00.000-05:002008-01-21T13:09:00.000-05:00?I looked at his player card (and linked to it in ...?<BR/><BR/>I looked at his player card (and <A HREF="http://baseball.bornbybits.com/plots/Jeremy_Affeldt.html" REL="nofollow">linked to it</A> in my post), but I don't see anything that allows much diagnosis. Pitch velocity and break does tend to vary a lot, but that happens on pitchers with really good control too. <A HREF="http://baseball.bornbybits.com/plots/Aaron_Harang.html" REL="nofollow">Aaron Harang</A> doesn't look noticeably more variable than Affeldt to my eye. But I haven't tried to really measure those things either.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, feel free to elaborate.<BR/>-jjinazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697776280178146413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241716.post-53782802642586372612008-01-21T13:01:00.000-05:002008-01-21T13:01:00.000-05:00If you look at his pitch F/x data from Josh Kalk, ...If you look at his pitch F/x data from Josh Kalk, you can immediately see why he is having control problems.Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929170896922110691noreply@blogger.com
