May want to use R or Python over just downloading from baseball savant. It looks to be a feature (bug) in their download it just downloads the first pitch type in the list instead of all. There maybe another API out there to scrape this information.

This seems to work though you will need to calculate the whiff%. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast_search?hfPT=FF|SI|FC|CH|FS|FO|SC|CU|KC|CS|SL|ST|SV|KN|EP|FA|IN|PO|&hfAB=&hfGT=R|&hfPR=&hfZ=&hfStadium=&hfBBL=&hfNewZones=&hfPull=&hfC=&hfSea=2024|&hfSit=&player_type=pitcher&hfOuts=&hfOpponent=&pitcher_throws=&batter_stands=&hfSA=&game_date_gt=&game_date_lt=&hfMo=&hfTeam=&home_road=&hfRO=&position=&hfInfield=&hfOutfield=&hfInn=&hfBBT=&hfFlag=&metric_1=&group_by=pitch-type&min_pitches=0&min_results=0&min_pas=0&sort_col=swing_miss_percent&player_event_sort=api_p_release_speed&sort_order=desc&chk_pitch_type=on&chk_stats_swing_miss_percent=on#results
Not me. I guess I was one of the few Turang believers. Also he is perfect as the #8 or 9 hitter. He doesn’t need to hit for power he just needs to get on base. Turang to me is just a better David Eckstein.
That is a bit concerning for the Badgers. What is going on with the team that so many are leaving? I don't believe it is a money issue there must be something else going on that the players don't like.
All lies! When will you haters stop? We all know he is the greatest ever! That insurance was so he would stay away from baseball so he wouldn’t embarrass all of the HoF with his gaudy numbers!!!!!
This is my best guess for the Packers draft:
25 traded to the Chiefs for 32, 173, 2025 2nd and 3rd round picks.
And my Bears picks if anyone is interested:
With more and more information coming out it doesn't look like there will be 3 rate cuts this year. With the recent data coming out June is not going to happen. I think the Fed does nothing in June. The next available data point won't be until the September meeting so July and August are also out. If there will be a rate cut it will be in September and that is if inflation improves.
It is looking more and more like inflation will not improve or at least not improve enough for a rate cut. I still believe the Fed will just hold until September and reevaluate then. If inflation doesn't improve by the September meeting then you could see a rate hike. I think inflation would have to improve to around 2.5% for the Fed to make a rate cut and I just don't see that happening.
I know the Bears are heavily interested in the OT from Yale. I have heard the Packers are also interested in him. He has a day 2 grade (Kiran Amegadjie).
If the Packers go OT I think that is who they go with.
I thought Giannis could turn into someone like Garnett but I don't think he will ever shoot as good to get there. I think as Giannis ages the best we could hope for is a more athletic version of Duncan. Yes I know another HOF player but if Giannis can continue to improve on his game around the rim I think he could be as good as Duncan was.
I agree. I have been talking about Lopez being a bad fit for awhile now. Middleton looks like he is at the end of his career at least defensively he looks that way. He is just not sticking to players like he used to.
