A Simple Way to Analyze Pitch "Tunnels"
Fantastic analysis!
I have a few question about pitch movement synergy. First, can it explain why pitcher engage in designing "tight" slider?
Second, does pitch with tremendous movement like sweeper, slurve perform well in pitch synergy? If they can, does SSW helpful?
Awesome research!
Did you examine sinkers and breaking/offspeed pitches - the conclusion should be the same?
Curious, where did you get data for horizonal, vertical movement for pitches based on time, like hmovement at .20 seconds?
I'll be exploring more pitchers in depth starting tomorrow, so we'll see how it lines up with various pitch pairs.
The calculation is a basic one, based on the StatCast variables. Here's the formula:
[Pitch V X0] * [Time] + ( 0.5 * [Pitch A X] * SQUARE([Time]) )
