More Data
Real-life responsibilities have largely kept me away from writing and baseball in general over the last month, but I did find a few hours to add a feature to the data site: pitching lines! Each pitcher’s profile page now includes a complete pitching line for each game he’s appeared in. The caveat is that the data only goes as far back as 2009, which is when I started collecting it.
Here are a couple examples: Ryan Vogelsong, Hayato Terahara and Masahiro Tanaka. Oh, right, and Yu Darvish.
As always, if you see anything that looks wrong, please let me know.

Very nice way to quickly recognize trends.

Hi, I’m curious if there’ll be an option to see the pitch-track by each year? For example, I was looking at Ma-kun:

Somehow I felt messy. LOL

Maybe. I thought about breaking things up by year, but I think the changes across seasons are interesting: http://npbtracker.com/data/player.php?p_id=112
The next thing I do will be results-oriented — ie, whiff rates, contact rates per pitch.
