Corbin Burnes’ pitching into the 9th and taken out with only 84 pitches will be HIGHLY overshadowed. Either because they lost, or because he only 3 of his 24 outs were strikeouts.
Who should start the 2024 All Star Game? A look into this year’s Starter Command Indexes (SCI’s) rank the following:
AL:
Lugo, Skubal, Burnes
NL:
Skenes, Wheeler, Sale
I drew a diagram of my problem with the automated strike zone. It’s strikes like these that the umpires are trained to see that we don’t see from a 2-D box.
Jon Gray: 8 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 98 pitches. Some may not be impressed because he only had 3 strikeouts, but his Command Execution Index, on the other hand, maxed out at a 100.0.#CXI#COMMANDYOURMETRICS
It’s not about how fast you can throw the ball or how much you can spin the ball, it’s about what you can do with the ball for that hitter to successfully get him out. Great spin means nothing when the ball ended up over the right field wall. #commandyourmetrics
