Byrd Pitch Preferences

My third post on Marlon Byrd, finally some PITCHf/x data.

Oops, bad numbers - new post coming

Observations:


  1. Much bigger sample size

  2. Byrd sees more pitches down-and-away, but likes down-and-in a little more

  3. His contact rate in the zone and outside pitches that are zone high are comprable to Murton's

  4. He shouldn't swing at the down-and-in stuff as much - looks like a good place for a pitcher to get a whiff



Check out Josh Kalks' site for a visual representation.
