Gregor Blanco: The Next Ichiro?
via Driveline Mechanics by Kyle on June 17, 2008
Check it out:Pretty interesting, isn’t it? I’m not sure if he does this often, but I saw it the other day on a Braves telecast and figured it would be worth sharing. The main detriment of this approach is that it can move the level of your eyes, giving the ball more movement than it really has, making it difficult to pick out the final location of the pitch. It should help with hip rotation...

Preview: Brandon Morrow

I’m watching the Mariners/Red Sox game right now and saw Brandon Morrow come in. A few readers have asked for Morrow’s analysis, so I took some video. What I saw was typical of Morrow’s stuff - blazing fastball, sharp slider. However, his command was well above-average. I’m about to run out to eat some food, but as I type this, Morrow has struck out two batters with his 99 and 98 mph...

Pitcher fastballs peak at 29, decline quickly
via U.S.S. Mariner by DMZ on May 26, 2008
The greatest thing for me as a fan the last few years is the explosion of great data researchers can use, from play-by-play information that helped build better defensive measures to the amazing stuff you can get out of MLB’s Pitch f/x system.Like this, “Preliminary aging curve for fastball speed” by Josh Kalk.
