Saturday, March 29, 2008Foulke talesKeith Foulke returns to the major leagues this year after a one-year retirement. After battling knee injuries in 2005 and 2006, Foulke retired just prior to the 2007 season. He has rejoined the Oakland Athletics for 2008 and is expected to fill a key role in their bullpen. We have PITCHf/x data for his appearance against the Giants today, and I thought it would be interesting to see how hard he was throwing and what his pitch selection was. Click for more... Masahide Kobayashi brief scouting reportThe Cleveland Indians signed Masahide Kobayashi from the Chiba Lotte Marines over the winter to join their bullpen. The PITCHf/x system was turned on in Atlanta tonight, and Kobayashi pitched the 7th inning in a rain-shortened game. The Braves scored five runs against Kobayashi on five hits, one walk, and three errors, and it would appear that the weather was affecting the results. Nonetheless, I wanted to give a short report on Kobayashi's pitch repertoire in the game since is he new to Major League Baseball this year. Click for more... Bannister’s final warmupBrian Bannister made his final spring training start against the Brewers yesterday.

Friday fastball speedsI'm browsing through the pitch data from Friday's games where the PITCHf/x system was turned on, and here are some of the average fastball speeds for pitchers who pitched in those games. Take them for what they're worth. Click for more... PITCHf/x returnsWith some teams moving from their spring training sites to major league ballparks on Friday night, the PITCHf/x systems in a few stadiums were turned on. We have PITCHf/x data for the games between the Red Sox-Dodgers, Rockies-Diamondbacks, Tigers-Astros, Royals-Brewers, A's-Giants, and Yankees-Marlins (partial). A new feature this year is real-time pitch classification, and you can see this in the raw data from these games. I haven't had a chance to digest much of this data yet, but you can see that Bartolo Colon's fastball is checking in at 93 mph, for example.
