All you ever wanted to know about Pitchf/x…

Unrelated, but CBS Sports reported that IPK pitched 8 2/3 before losing a no hitter last night….woah, I guess he is doing well, he was so efficient in fact, that we didn’t even notice home get 5 more outs. That is dominance.

While the player cards are interesting for now, I can’t wait until a few years down the road when we can use this info in an even more productive way. Josh has started this, in part with his “Anatomy of a Pitch” series, but I think we’re just scratching the surface. Player comps, like the ones PECOTA uses, could be a big part of this. If MLB and SportVision have the resources and desire to put this technology in some of the minor league parks (even if it’s only in AAA or AA), it would be absolutely huge.

I’m surprised there isn’t a Yankees site devoted to Pitchf/x, considering the sheer number of Yankee blogs out there. There’s already Cubsf/x and Redsf/x, among several others that I don’t know of, maybe a Yankeesf/x site isn’t far off.

Josh Kalk is brilliant and also a very nice guy. He’s answered all my nagging questions very promptly by email.

i actually worked for mlb.com on the first year of pitch f/x system for the dbacks when i was living in arizona … i have to say it was pretty bad ass, we had alot of glitches but it was lots of fun.

This is pretty sick, imagine watching gameday in about 3 years from now, it will be like completely virtual representation of the actual game(Like CBS had for the College WS but better)

First you channel Rummy, then drop a JFK reference on the heels of Barack’s Germany speech, now a 1972 Woody Allen movie… You guys are all over the place!

Who’s next… Chita Rivera? Dan Cortese? Dag Hammarskjöld? Linus Paulding?
