Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostI have not looked at all, but my assumption is that the curveball overall as a pitch is more sparsely used and generally is an out pitch, so the stats on its effectiveness are skewed. So, if a pitcher uses it all the time, it may still be decently effective, but not compared to everyone else that use it sparingly as an out pitch.
Robbie Ray has never thrown his curveball more than 22% of the time though (that 60% jumped off the page), so I suspect we may be dealing with bad data.
And while the curve was far from his best pitch last year, it was also far from the worst curve that anyone put up in 2019.

sounds like I misheard the percentage, or what the percentage meant.
but they did say he had the worst curve last year, that he threw it a lot and graded a D for the pitch, and Greinke got an A.
wait - could they have been talking about a different pitch for those two? I caught the discussion in the middle (Luis Castillo graded as the best changeup fwiw)finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

I see them as pretty close.I'm just here for the baseball.
