- Description
- a paper looking at Jon Lester's start on August 3rd and classifying his pitches according to speed, spin magnitude, and spin direction. This technique shows important promise for pitch classification independent of release point measurement distance (y0). Plus there's a lot of cool stuff on equations of motions for any other physicists out there.
