Carp and Big Z - Relatively Speaking

One of the nice things about having pitch type benchmarks for my pet metrics is the ability to "+"ify the metrics. Make them league relative like OPS+.

Let's roll those out for Chris Carpenter and Carlos Zambrano. If you want to look at pitch type charts and pitch mix, check-out this Flickr gallery.




Type Matched is pitch type to pitch type (change-ups vs. change-ups). League Matched is pitch to league (change-ups vs. all pitches), which includes an overall (across pitch type) line for the big roll-up of pitcher vs. league.
