So, I recently wrote about how Tyler Chatwood’s release point was lower in his first start of the season. I don’t know what happened with data on Brooks Baseball, but it’s since been adjusted. And by adjusted, I mean it’s completely different.
In that first start, Chatwood’s curveball release point was actually a quarter foot (that’s three inches) higher, not lower like we saw in Brooks Baseball’s initial data release. In other words, he’s actually throwing wayyyyy more over the top. I can’t believe just how different the data looks. Take note of the yellow line below, which is his curveball release point and look at how much higher it is.
