Doesn't matter really but having someone who promotes one player in comparison to another on the same team and putting them down is what is scary.

Sorry Bro, this is what I see and I think others probably see the same thing.

That's cruel.

He is not wrong all the time. He and his doppelganger is about this because it seems they have an axe to grind with Folty.

Great post. And it's important to note that you can't just chart pitches that hit these locations. It has to be purposeful pitches and not those that end up on the corners but miss their target by 2 feet

LOL I love.

That was a lot of words used to defend the eye test!

I was very pro Folty when we acquired him and his first 1.5 years. You can see the potential but in effect he has not developed at all. When you have **** command you will never reach your potential.

2018 Strike %
Folty: 44.4%
Newk: 40.4%

It is endless comedy seeing you ding Folty for his command while pimping Newk lol.

The problem is you will never be able to prove command. Folty can get a strike by hanging a slider up in the zone. Should have been in the dirt. So he missed his spot by 4 feet but got the same result. So basically anyone can argue “command”.

Personally I think Folty issue is having hittable pitches too often. He doesn’t know how to put guys away or just can’t execute the pitches to do so.
Newk is more the control/command issue.

But it is not. Like I said anyone can argue command. It is an arbitrary word with no quantifiable validation. How do you know he wanted to hit X spot. You don’t. Even if he missed the catchers glove, he still could have put it where he wanted it. You are basically arguing BS vodoo magic. “Eye tests” have been proven wrong more times than not. Saying someone has better command is just an opinion that doesn’t need to be used as fact.

I have reason to believe some teams have developed data to measure command...based on how close the pitch was relative to where the catcher sets up...it is an active area of research
