Pitching Stats
Starting 5/22 '08
Key: The practices involve 8 15 minute segments. I attempt to alternate between pitching the first third fifth and seventh segments 3/4 style and the intervening segments overhead style, and pitching the first third fifth and seventh segments overhead style and pitching the intervening segments 3/4 style. If the first segment of the day was pitched 3/4 style the results will be recorded in the corresponding column; if the first segment of the day was pitched overhead style, the results again will be recorded in the corresponding column. Same for the second through eigth segments of the practice. Figures show strikes-thrown/pitches-thrown, percent strikes. In the totals columns the percentage figure outside ot parentheses shows the average of all the percent figures for the day; the percent figure in parentheses shows the percent of the total number of pitches for the day that were strikes.
