Today, I’m excited to announce that I had the opportunity to pick the brain of the one and only Perry Husband. For those of you who don’t know him, the shortest introduction I can give is that Brent Strom referred to him not only as his #1 pitching consultant go-to, but also acknowledged while the Astros front office is advanced, Perry is truly the bleeding edge for pitching.
So what is it about Perry that Strom holds to such a high standard? Well, most importantly he’s the godfather of Effective Velocity, but you can thank him for a myriad of advancements in the game (including measuring EV / Launch Angle).
