I examine some individual pitch data from Max Fried’s playoff performances.
Question: How variable are the release speeds on each of Fried’s different pitches?
This is evaluated using histograms for each pitch that can be compared to each other.
It appears that that Fried has relatively consistent speeds across his fastballs and curveballs, while changeups and sinkers are more variable. In this case, the latter finding could be because of smaller sample sizes.
