@_nateschwartz@AdamAkbani I think so. The green zone when you click an individual pitch I believe is the individual batter's zone, there's some massive height differences. The savant zone seems like some sort of default zone if that's even a thing lol.
Whiff% starting pitcher leaders (min. 50 IP):

Dude has been lights out for Cleveland and part of the reason they've had a late year wild-card resurgence.
@RedbirdFarmhand@FilterVaccine I'm eager to see how he looks in AAA as well. I don't think the pitch is bad or anything of the sort at this point, but I did walk away with a bit more confidence in the secondaries than I was expecting to as well as a bit more questions about the heater.
@RedbirdFarmhand@FilterVaccine <30 pitches, but 17.5 IVB 9 HB is a lot closer to deadzone than I'd expected to see when considering the MiLB ball and arm slot. The Splitter is insane and the velo and his handedness don't make it too concerning imo, but movement wise it looked far from the 70-80 grades it gets.
@FilterVaccine@RedbirdFarmhand From the two innings of work he had at Palm Beach, they looked pretty sharp metrically. If anything, his 4-Seamer looked a lot more concerning.
