Nice work from Jeff Zimmerman to track velocity changes

yeah, that's a great resource ... there's one name that jumps out at me from that list that might be flying under the radar this spring - Shelby Miller.

Scott Kazmir down 5.8 mph......oof

I heard Greinke was a LOT better in his last outing. Or maybe the D-Backs have a hot gun? I heard a rumor that Taijuan Walker hit 99 or something insane like that.

Awesome. This thread was the reason I landed Zach Godley on waivers last season!

Brandon Woodruff & Amir Garrett stand out to me.

Be careful about Woodruff. Zimmerman has said that the gun at Salt River Fields (where he just pitched) appears to be a bit hot for everyone, so that might not be real.

I think I'm falling in love with Amir Garrett.

Last year, in a small sample, he had 3 pitches. Below are #pitches, swstr%, and wOBA:
4-seam 766 | 3.7% | .460
slider 277 | 20.6% | .289
change 191 | 11.5% | .189

The slider and change were excellent, while the 4-seam was ATROCIOUS. In total, he had an 8.7% swstr. If the reports of improved velocity/command are true, and you give him just a league-average 4-seam, which I believe is around 7% swstr, that would result in just below an 11% swstr. Not elite, but damn good.

It's usually not a good idea to latch onto a player like this, but thankfully he's not expensive anywhere.

LOL

anyway, it says he’s not updating this for this year. Anywhere else?

I know, lol.

updated one - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gr4/edit#gid=0

Jeff has a note about not keeping up with it in the past few days. In case you don't know him or follow him, his brother is in the final days of ALS.

I was confused by which yardstick was used to measure Kazmir's 5.8 MPH velo drop, thinking he probably hasn't been clocked in 2-3 years.
