The culmination of a lot of Statcast Python and Machine Learning Algorithms, I’ve finally built out my MLB Player Dashboard highlighting Ideal Pitches based on HVB/IVB. Will be updating for Cubs related targets & signing throughout a hopefully busy offseason!

After a day of data work, here's the Matthew Boyd 2024 Pitch Movement Analysis!

If I were the Cubs, I'd move away from the sinker, doesn't move well against league wide results and had bad results. 4-Seam doesn't rate well but it got results, let him do his thing. Hammer the Slider usage!!

Alright here’s our super rough deep dive.

Hayden’s arm angle was the same for the sweeper, fastball was the change! Really ugly graphs but here’s the fastball horizontal movement and vertical movement from 2023-2024

Speaking of Hayden, this is super interesting from Savant’s new arm angle (unsure how accurate pre-2024 tracking is)
