I assume

the different colors represent different pitches?

Oh no

The app stands for appearance, duh.

We talked about this last year with Josh Kalk's analysis of Manny Parra at BCB

Announcers sometimes talk about pitching from either side or the middle of the rubber. It doesn’t explain the lower angle, but maybe he was moving side to side in each start.

Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.

I want to know how accurate pitch f/x really is on release points

primarily, what kind of error range we are working with (in inches). also, how big should your x and y axes ranges be for a graph like this? i know that in the graphing 101 post, it was -3 to 3 and 0 to 7, but how was that determined? as the axis get bigger, the release point differences look smaller and smaller

that being said, it sure looks like wheeler’s arm is getting better. an injured pitcher generally drops his arm slot, but it seems that wheeler is raising it (assuming release point is related to arm slot).

Can you spot the five guys NOT in the Hall of Fame? It's easy, I separated 'em for ya. :)

Here's the full post about guys elected to the Hall of Fame primarily for their defense. Guys like Brooks Robinson, Ozzie Smith, Bobby Wallace, John Ward, and Bid McPhee stand up as definite HOFers, with many others worthy of debate (and a couple aren't worth any debate at all).

I almost made it through the whole post without comparing some HOFers to our friends Bill Dahlen, Lou Whitaker, Bobby Grich, Alan Trammell, and Ron Santo. Almost.
