Long live the King.

I was at Busch stadium watching the Cardinals-Tigers game tonight, so I missed Felix pitching, but I love the offspeed stuff I’m seeing on Gameday after the first inning. He should be an All-Star for sure.

Where are you seeing how many offspeed pitches he threw?

Fourth and fifth inning, most notably. But I didn't look all that closely.

I'm not sure if this was DA's question, but I'm curious:

What is your source of information regarding the types of pitches thrown by one Felix Hernandez at last night’s M’s-Padres game?

I'd go with Brooks baseball's pitchfx tool

Thank you. Fantastic.

Don't take its pitch classification as gospel, though

with certain pitchers it can mis-identify quite a few.

You know, I was thinking about that as I looked at marc's link.

I could see four distinct groupings in several of the plots, which seemed to contain approximately the same number of points in each graph. At no point did I see 5, though the tables list 5 different pitch types. Does 5 seem right for Felix last night?
