Data is everywhere, including the minor leagues, and the public is increasingly getting access to it. Statcast-type numbers are coming from Triple-A games, and a few Single-A parks have also hooked themselves up to the stream. For pitching in particular, that’s pretty exciting — we now have pitch shape and velocity numbers for minor leaguers. But pitching is still an art. The way a pitcher generally broadcasts his confidence, specifically with different pitches, matters.
He’s able to throw the slider for in-zone strikes or out-of-zone for chase against left-handed hitters. The sweeper comes into play against right-handed hitters — Brown uses it to get swing-and-miss in the zone and to get chase off the outer third. In Triple A, the upper-half four-seam seemed to be a big problem for opposing hitters of both hands. Pairing that hard four-seam up with a strong slider/sweeper led to many uncompetitive swings.
