Thanks for reading, Herbie! Great question, that’s certainly something I should’ve included in the post. You can find the movement profiles I used on each player’s Baseball Savant page. For example, here’s Cole Ragans, just scroll a tiny bit down on your phone or, on desktop, the movement profiles will be at the top in the right corner.
Right? Fact is, he just couldn't throw strikes as a Royal and now he gets to try as a Dodger (though he has as good of a shot at making that team as I do). A perfect example of "stuff" being just one part of what makes pitchers successful (or not).
enjoyed this - thanks. Where/what sight would I find the "Movement Profile" diagrams?

Awesome read!
Thanks for checking it out!
Very interesting. It would be nice if Sauer could convert that stuff(+) into some outs.

Shoot, I forgot he's a Dodger now. Well, as long as he doesn't end up on an AL team after the Dodgers cut him...
