Peavy: Masterful again

This game is still going on — it is 0-0 and we’re headed to the 12th. Here’s Peavy’s pitch mix, with frequency and average mph in parenthesis (this is by PITCHf/x, of course).

Fastball: 60 (93.8)
Slider: 32 (84.1)
Curve: 7 (79.7)
Splitter: 4 (85.8)
Cutter: 3 (87.7)
Change: 2 (86.3)

3 pitches get the unknown classification — camera messed up. Here’s a quick glance at Peavy’s fastball velocity throughout the game:

Still can’t figure out how to format these, but whatever. Anyway, like I’ve mentioned before, I plan to get more detailed with this stuff in the future – I’ve actually been pretty busy with homework lately. Let’s pull out a win here, ey?

    Nice to see Peavy continuing his success from last year.
    Come on, Padres score a winning run.

    Hey, Didi, love to see the comments : ) It is 2:30 out on the east coast. I usually stay up this late, if not later, but I was pretty tired tonight. Ahh, I suppose I can manage … but, yeah, the winning run would be nice sometime soon : )

    … for the Padres of course.

    rather than just pitch count, it would make sense to divvy it up by batter and by inning. we might be able to make some observations as to how peavy changes up his style to batters the second and third time through the lineup, if at all.

    Great idea, Dex — and that’s one of the many things I hope to get into as the season goes on.
