I just shut them off because they clutter the graphs. Obviously there's some exaggeration, because the release points are 50+ feet away on one axis, but just 2 or 3 feet away on the other.

The first curve it #1. The second is #2, third is #3, and so on. Same with the fastballs. It doesn't matter what actual pitch it was. It's easier to separate and plot the data that way.

If I'm reading the pitch count / speed variance chart correctly, he didn't throw a curve after the 35th pitch? I didn't see game, but that seems odd.... I love this info. Awesome.

Awesome. Ironically enough, despite my love of numbers, I was only able to rack up a D in Stats 101. Maybe I should've actually paid attention and stopped thinking about WPA during our huge section on probability...
