Individual Pitch Rating

[nymetsfan5]

So I know that in order for a starter to be good, he has to have 3+ pitches that are at least 5's. Not a perfect algo, but a start. What I am wondering is that if I target guys with specific pitch arsenals, will that work. For instance, we have seen a lot of these high spin FB/CB pitchers be elite recently. Does that should up in individual pitch ratings, or am I better off just looking at the stuff and control ratings. Looking to find an edge in expansion. Thank you.

Here is some recent discussion about individual pitch ratings vs. stuff, movement and control.

Thank you, I couldn't find this thread but it was what I was looking for.

Thanks for refreshing my mind about this

Lots of cool stuff (accidental pun) in there

Like change ups vs cutters. A change up is much more of a swing and miss pitch, so it makes sense that it would increase stuff.
