With everyone attacking pitch design goals early in the season, I think it is important to highlight something we have implemented @TreadAthletics ( @k_camden coding this). It seems as if the baseball world marvels at the latest and greatest pitch in the game; Chaz Roe& #39;s sweeper,

Devin Williams& #39; screwball like CH, Bauer& #39;s 4S, Glasnow& #39;s CB. Every season these objectives seem unattainable and non applicable as release parameters are easily distorted (dropping on CH, hiking on CB, etc.) Furthermore, we& #39;ve been able to develop arsenal/pitch comp generators to

provide more valuable insight to pitch design recommendations (using release & ball flight data). Utilizing an arsenal comp can provide insight to add/remove a pitch, where to take secondary pitches (also valuing spin/movement mirroring) that provides extreme clarity.

I cannot iterate enough how
valuable this is compared to blindly chasing outlier pitch metrics. Comps and inflection points!
