Pitching Metrics

Did you recently record numbers at a EL1 event!? If so, check out this article below to brush up on the metric definitions for each of your recorded metric types:

AVG Velo

  • This is the Average Pitch Speed at the pitcher's release, measured in MPH. 

AVG Spin

  • This measures how fast the ball spins, measured in RPM.

AVG VB

  • This measures the Vertical Movement of pitches relative to gravity, capturing Magnus Effect.

AVG HB

  • This measures the Side To Side Deviation from a straight-line path, due to spin.

VAA

  • This measures the angle the pitch approaches the zone at. 

Extension

  • This measures how close the ball is released to the plate, relative to the mound.
