Fangraphs: Michael Schwimmer: Pitch-by-Pitch stat geek

[nate]

Here's an interesting article on how minor league pitcher, Michael Schwimmer uses the latest technology to review his outings.

His thoughts are pretty interesting and it's hard to pick just one but here's a tease:

“When I do the charting, I try to take out baseball’s traditional-result goals. As a reliever, if you give up a few hits and a run, that’s considered a bad outing. I take that out of consideration and put into consideration how many times I was able to make the pitch I wanted to make. In the long run, the more often I’m able to make the pitch I want, the more often I’m going to get good results.
