Taking a closer look at Noah Syndergaard’s results by pitch type for
the fifteen starts Astromets Mind kept a pitch sequence of during 2014.
Home starts offer an angle of the scoreboard, so velocities can be recorded but
location is tough to judge. Away starts offer a better angle of pitch location
and movement, but rely on pitch velocities from the announcer.
Combined stats presented:
15 GS, 78.2 IP, 88 H, 46 R (42), 89 SO: 27 BB (25.7 K%: 7.8
BB%), 1395 Pitches, 896 Strikes (64.2%), 66 GO: 39 FO
