Man, who calculates these things???

Wow. I wonder if the 53 was a real pitcher of one of the position players pitching in a blowout.

 

Not sure but I think Bumgarner hit it.

Not sure but I love it as a fantasy baseball guy.

With pitch data now gathered at every game it's not difficult to come up with.

Now let's talk about pitchers and who gets squared up the least.

 

Which pitcher has the lowest average ball-off-the-bat MPH?

Is it just over this year? I realize it's all with computers but man that's some data to accumulate! Particularly if it goes back over multiple years.

I'll start off the bidding with Aroldis Chapman.

Arrieta or Chapman.

No. The data was from 2008 through this season.

I'll start off the bidding with Aroldis Chapman.

 

The list I have required 150 PAs. I didn't see Chapman on the list.

Arrieta or Chapman.

 

Arrieta was #2 at 85.07 .

Arrieta was #2 at 85.07 .

I guess I'll get the two obvious guesses out of the way. Greinke or Kershaw?

Greinke is #40 at 87.71.

Kershaw is #1 at 84.92 .

 

Best current Red is Iglesias at #90 @ 88.58 .

Of the pitchers who met the 150 PA criteria the pitcher who gave up the single hardest hit ball this season was Jerome Williams at 120 MPH. Not sure who hit it.

It would be hard to take a guess at Chapmans because so few balls are put in play on him.
