So hey, here's a fun (if somewhat complicated) new thing.
Now on Baseball Savant: Now you can see the measured spin direction (thanks, Hawk-Eye!) of each pitcher's pitches, and compare them to the observed. So here's the man, Shane Bieber.

My favorite thing is comparing a normal change-up like Giolito's that is supposed to work off his fastball with how hilarious THE AIRBENDER is
Also fun to do things like compare how similar the spin out of hand is for a guy like Lance Lynn or Luis Castillo and then how the observed movement at the plate is .. different. Super premature, but feels like some kind of deception to me.

You can also compare two types of pitch from the same guy.
So hey, James Karinchak, look at that beautiful mirror

Airbender aside, the weirdest pitch plot of anyone here is whatever the hell Derek Holland's curveball is doing. (It also got plastered, .556 SLG, so maybe it's not doing enough of whatever it's doing.)
