Pitch Type & Velocity: Leaderboards
The leaderboards are up for Pitch Type & Velocity! There are a couple standard leaderboard functions that do not work with the Pitch Type tab.
-Starters and Relievers cannot be broken down yet.
-You cannot filter by league.
-You can select the minimum IPs.
-You can select only qualified players.
If there’s a % sign in the column, it’s the percentage of pitches thrown and if there’s a “v” after the pitch type, it’s the average velocity of the pitch.
Quick refresher on what means what: FB – Fastball, SL – Slider, CT – Cutter, CB -Curveball, CH- Changeup, SF – Split-fingered Fastball, KN – Knuckleball, XX – Unidentified, PO – Pickoff Attempt

Fantastic stuff!
Can I guess that Pitch Velocity leaderboards are forthcoming?
