Carlos Marmol is a two-pitch pitcher, piece of cake to pick out his pitches, but not so much to hit them.
Two fluke pitches, both show-up on both release point and break as outliers. This is after cleaning intentional balls and pitch-outs. 
Pretty obvious, fastball/curveball. Lots of strikes for both, which is scary.
Check out the curveball - killer pitch. If you swing, you whiff 40% the time. If you take, it gets called a strike 45% of the time.
Data from all home games from July 13 - August 30 with PITCHf/x data and y0=50ft. 288 pitches were found, excluding two intentional balls and one pitch out.

hi, when you downloaded the pitch data from MLB do you do anything to get just the cubs players and not visiting teams.
Thanks
No, I get every last bit. I filter, as needed, on home/away in the queries that the reports are based on.
