Where does this come from? What’s the analytical proof? Has there been a study on it? Lots of guys start and do well with 1-2 pitches.
Shields: curve/change. FB for show, always had negative value
Yordano: FB/curve. FB severe negative value 2016. CB was his high value pitch
Volquez: curve/slider. FB negative most years
Ian: FB. That’s it. High value pitch, all others negative
DuffMan: FB/curve. Slider change negative value
I mean outside guys like Sabes, Cone, Appier, none of our stattters has 3 high value pitches
