R.J. Swindle, BtB hero, made his Brewer debut last night. I don't know if Harry plans to tackle him in a full-length post or not; I sure hope so. In the meantime here is his slow stuff vs. his horizontal break.
I throw 5 pitches - fastball, curveball, slider, cutter, changeup. My fastball is about 81-84, my curveball that everyone knows me by is about 51-55, all the other pitches come somewhere in between.
Can you ID all five? I know pitch f/x had trouble. They classified his 55 mph curve as "unknown".
OK, I promise to lay off pitch f/x for a while, but I couldn't resist.

He's sidearmed so I hope this is right
One of my favorites was when pitch f/x classified all of Swisher’s pitches as changeups.

ding ding ding
we have a winner!
I don’t play a lot of video games, but R.J. Swindle is like the guy I always create as my character in MVP 2005. Low-velo fastball, a 55 mph laredo curve and a bunch of other funky breaking stuff of which I have near perfect command of.

That's a fun idea.
I always made guys who threw gas.
