Do we have any reliable spin rate data on Smoltz in his prime?
I would love to know for his slider and splitter. Just absolute filth.

I’m guessing smoltz had elite spin rate on that slider, and he would have had plus spin rate on a 4 seamer if he had been brought up in the modern game. Then the split would have had very little spin, acting like an elite change up.
If a team had modern analytics back then I bet he’s the best pitcher in the sport.
Kerry Wood.
I’d love to see the extension data for Randy. I’d assume that would be 100% with a bullet.I'd love to know the spin rates on:
Unit's slider and 4-seamer
Pedro's curve and 4-seamer
Maddux 2-seamer and change.
Clemens and Schilling Splitter.

Any one over Brian Jordan works for me TBH. I can't wait to never hear BJ in the booth again, as soon as possible.

Just saw that and was so happy! I like Paul Byrd from time to time, but BJ was just proof that not all BJs are good.
Especially BJs in the two hole.
