very useful. thank you.

Smiss - 219

Sswng (the 917) is Foul+SMiss+BIP

Also note, the pitch data below AAA (maybe AA?) is just like spring training, K = 3 strikes, BB = 4 balls, ect. so that part can be ignored.

If they could add TZ like minor league splits did, it would be perfect.

Totalzone was entirely unreliable. The swinging strike rates and the like are far more useful.

Cecchini is the only non prospect, interesting. But remember the batted ball rates below AA aren't nearly as good.

It wasn't as reliable as the major league defensive stats,but still very useful as most of the time it will tell you who a good fielder is. The swinging strike rates don't really stick out to me. The thing that is most useful from the site to me is the SIERA. Nobody else has minor league SIERA. Drake Britton was actually very unlucky this year as he had a 4.52 SIERA

[ClutchCarl13]

HaHa, this'll be the best one to tell Yankee Fans

Manny Banuelos 4.11 SIERA
Dellin Betances 3.72 SIERA
Alex Wilson 3.61 SIERA

And this: every single pitcher on baseball prospectus's top 50 mid season list has a better SIERA than Manny Banuelos except for Jared Cosart and Mike Montgomery, Casey Kelly has a better SIERA than Banuelos and he's having trouble getting strikeouts.

Garin Cecchini is going to be a beast.

On what planet is Cecchini a 'non prospect'.

I'd hesitate to put much stock into this. Minor league batted ball data is notoriously unreliable, and even among good scorers, there doesn't seem to be much of an objective standard for distinguishing between fly balls and line drives. I'd imagine that there's even some gray area between line drives and ground balls. Also, line drive percentage just isn't a great stat for evaluating hitting prowess, even at the major league level where (I'd imagine) you have better guys scoring this stuff. It doesn't even correlate too well with BABIP. In the top 25 for 2011, you see Cliff Pennington, Coco Crisp, Jason Bartlett, Jamey Carroll, Darwin Barney and Alberto Callaspo. In the bottom 25 you've got Mark Reynolds, Carlos Santana, Brian McCann, Nelson Cruz, Shane Victorino and Jose Bautista.

[TheGoldenGreek33]

Yeah. Where is Hit f/x in its' development?

edit: Or, I could just stop being lazy and google it myself. Harry Pavlidis did an article on it for THT a week ago.

Yes. Balls that are hit sharply and first touch ground on the infield dirt are always scored grounders if fielded (of course) and are usually scored grounders if hits, but once in a while they're scored as liners, and there will be instances where FanGraphs game logs have it one way while baseball-ref has it the other. And of course the BABIP on these "grindlers" or whatever) is intermediate between grounders and liners.
