Zambrano no-hit f/x

by Mike Fast
September 15, 2008

If you want to know what Carlos Zambrano was bringing to the plate last night in his no-hitter against the Astros, check out the detailed PITCHf/x breakdown by Harry Pavlidis, always a great source for Cubs analysis.

For example, left-handed batters saw 14 splitters from Zambrano, all down and away, including the pitch that struck out Erstad to end the game.

Mike Fast is a Kansas City Royals fan who enjoys investigating baseball questions using PITCHf/x data. He welcomes questions and comments via e-mail.
