Pitchability
Analytics. Spin rate, all that stuff. It’s like comparing a baseball bat to a scalpel. Power pitching vs control pitching. What’s interesting with control pitching is that you can strongly influence outcomes. Meaning that you can get guys to pop on the infield, KO, hit a ground ball for a double play, etc. Analytics takes all that away and just says do this, throw as hard as you can, and create as much spin as you can, and you will get guys out. Catchers just sit 3rds and not on corners. No control needed just spin the crap out of it. The harder you throw, generally, the less control you have. This isn’t always the case but ideally, for me, give me 5 Maddux-esque starters and a bullpen of match up, situational guys, long guy, couple setup types with a dominant closer…(all the guys can have some velo since they are 1 inning, maybe 2 inning guys) And we win 100 games. We would need an average to above average lineup, and stay healthy, but it would be possible if I had 5, strike throwing, attacking starters that could go deep in games and keep the other team from big innings. How, do you say? Adaptive pitch-ability. I made that word up on the spot but I believe it conveys what I’m saying. Maddux could influence game outcomes by adapting his pitches to the situation. Control guys can do that. They can put it where they want. He was the best to ever do it. Just my thoughts. Great question. I hope control pitchers make a comeback. I loved to catch them.
