Lots of good stuff to check out today:

Rich Lederer on pitchers' ground ball and strikeout rates.
Our own John Beamer has an excellent article at The Hardball Times on radar guns and pitch speed. I'm hoping to track the pitch data from the Enhanced Gameday application in some way publicly available, so keep an eye out for that this season.
Also at THT, we have BtB alum Sal Baxamusa writing about baby home runs.
At Baseball Prospectus, Jay Jaffe continues his look at the HOF class of 2007. Of course, for more on that, just scroll down. Jay has a little more on Harold Baines at this blog entry.

mlb enhanced gameday stats

During the playoffs I played around with the xml files that hold the data for Enhanced Gameday. I think I figured out what most of the categories mean, although there are some I still don't understand. If you want any help creating that database, let me know.
