Baldwinb aSystems and Industrial Engineering, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721-0020, USA bP.O. Box 190 Yachats, OR 97498, USA Received 21 July 2005; received in revised form 30 May 2006; accepted 5 June 2006 Abstract The right-hand rules show the direction of the spin-induced deflection of baseball pitches: thus, they explain the movement of the fastball, curveball, slider and screwball. The direction of deflection is described by a pair of right-hand rules commonly used in science and engineering. Our new model for the magnitude of the lateral spin-induced deflection of the ball considers the orientation of the axis of rotation of the ball relative to the direction in which the ball is moving. This paper also describes how models based on somatic metaphors might provide variability in a pitcher’s repertoire. ᭧ 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

  • Stolen Signs to Stolen Wins?
    Venkataraman and Bozzella 1 Devan Venkataraman & Nathaniel Bozzella EC 107 Empirical Project Sergio Turner 12/20/20 Stolen Signs to Stolen Wins? The Trash Can Banging Scandal Heard ‘Round the World Question To what extent, and in what ways, was the Houston Astros cheating scandal in the 2017 season effective in improving team performance? Introduction For the majority of the 2010’s, the Houston Astros were a very middle of the pack team. From 2010-2014, the team did not finish higher than 4th in their division. For most of their history, the Houston Astros participated in the National League Central Division, up until the 2013 season. Since the 2013 season, the Astros have competed in the American League West Division, where they have seen much more success. In 2011, the Astros, one of the worst teams in baseball with a record of 56-106, were sold to Jim Crane where he moved on from ex-GM Ed Wade, and hired Jeff Luhnow two days after the sale. While Ed Wade made some good decisions: debuting Jose Altuve in the 2011 season and drafting George Springer in the 2011 draft, his overall performance was not satisfactory for the new owner. The new GM, Jeff Luhnow, made some notable decisions as well, drafting Carlos Correa in the 2012 draft (debuting him in 2015) and drafting Alex Bregman in the 2015 draft (debuting him in the 2017 season). After another few unsuccessful seasons with records of 55-107, 51-111, and 70-92 in the 2012-2014 seasons, Jeff Luhnow decided to fire the current manager of the team, whom he had a Venkataraman and Bozzella 2 falling out with towards the end of the 2014 season.

  • Knuckle Curve Pitcher on Mound Former MLB Umpire Ron Luciano on Knucklers
    “That ____ Eaton Pitch” ‐uttered by numerous opponents over the years in regard to Eaton’s knuckle curveball, with various derogatory terms used to fill in the blank Numerous Reds’ pitchers, after tremendous high school careers that culminated in being drafted by MLB teams, had great success with their knuckle curves in college and the pros. Above: Kyle Ottoson starts in Game 3 of Super Regionals for Arizona State vs. Texas and leaves the game with the lead, and Shane Dyer’s first of many baseball cards (rising all the way to Triple‐A) show his knuckle curve grip. Coach Danley learned the knuckle curve from a pitcher* at Oklahoma State in the late 1980’s, researched it, taught it, and embraced it fully, and went on to win 20 of the Reds’ 21 spring and summer state titles with the victorious Reds’ pitcher throwing the knuckle curve. While the pitch breaks down sharply like a curve ball, it has no curve ball spin or potentially damaging elbow torque like a curve ball, and so the name of the pitch is misleading. With this in mind, maybe what the Reds’ opponents called the pitch was a much better description: “that ____ Eaton pitch.” The Reds were frankly honored by the term, but more honored by the swings and misses (and sometimes quite ugly ones at that) at the pitch. The knuckle curve and Eaton’s Championship Years are so intertwined it would be redundant to other material on EatonBaseball.com to focus an entire story on the pitch, however as one example of its dominance, the Reds in the 2008 State Championship found themselves clinging to a 3‐1 lead with the opponent loading up the bases with no outs, at which point the Reds threw 9 straight knuckle curves, producing 9 straight strikes, and ending the inning and effectively the game.

  • The Physics of Pitching in the Wind David Kagan
    The Physics of Pitching In The Wind David Kagan Recently, I was sitting in front of the tube watching the Giants play the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. In the top of the fifth, Cole Hamels fired a fastball. Gregor Blanco was barely able to foul it off. It was the fastest four-seamer Hamels had thrown all day inspiring Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow to comment, “One thing pitchers like, and you don’t see it very often in this ballpark, they like winds at their back. You know, wind at your back is just like a golfer with the wind at his back in the tee box. You feel like you can hit the ball farther. Well, the same thing for a pitcher. They think they can throw harder and you can.” Well Kruk (rhymes with “Duke”), I never made it very far playing baseball so I don’t really know what pitchers think or why they think it. Some coaches even claim pitchers are better off not thinking. However, what I do have to offer is the knowledge to examine the physics of pitching in the wind. Let me start by reviewing the forces that act on the ball on its journey from pitcher to catcher. Forces on a Pitched Baseball There are two things that exert forces on a pitch in flight. The gravitational force is exerted by Earth. This steady downward inescapable pull is highly structured and predictable. In contrast, the forces air exert on the ball are complex and subtle. They give rise to the beauty and nuance of pitching.

  • Optimizing the Swing Alan M
    Optimizing the Swing Alan M. Nathan Department of Physics University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign When I first started writing this article a few weeks ago, the focus was very simple. It was motivated when someone posted a link to a 2004 WSJ article, “Why Hitting Curveballs Scores More Runs; How Pedro Proves Rule” in which it was claimed that an optimally hit curveball can be hit farther than an optimally hit fastball. The article was based on an interview with Professor Mont Hubbard of U.C./Davis, who had earlier published an article in American Journal of Physics, “How to hit home runs: Optimum baseball bat swing parameters for maximum range trajectories” , that directly addressed this topic. Some discussion ensued on Twitter, concluding with a question posed to me: Is the claim ``fact, theory, or nonsense''? The essential idea behind the claim is quite easy to state. On the one hand, a faster pitch can be hit harder and can therefore travel farther than a slower pitch. That would seem to give the edge to a fastball over a curveball. On the other hand, a curveball can be hit with greater backspin than a fastball. Greater backspin means more lift, which leads to a longer distance on a fly ball. Hubbard goes through a very nice explanation in the WSJ article for why a curveball can be hit with greater backspin than a fastball. It is the ultimate in simplicity and worth repeating here. If the ball approaches the batter with topspin, then reverses direction, the topspin becomes backspin.

    How to Grip a Curveball (age 14) Top View Side View Topspin Rotation What the hitter sees - curve ball Hitter's View - Right Handed PitcherUpdates: ● 11/18/13 - Refreshed current curveball pitcher list, and added Mordecai Brown ● 4/4/10 - Removed injury myth and added latest injury studies ● 5/08 - Initial page AKA This pitch is a type of breaking pitch, also called a hook, hammer or a yakker. Position the Ball 2 seam fastball position Turn the ball where the seams run the direction of your fingers and the closed end of the horseshoe (the "U") is away from your palm. Position your fingers Place your first two fingers (index and middle fingers) on top with your middle finger touching the inside of the seam. Your index finger is on the leather just next to your middle finger. Position your thumb Place your thumb under the ball directly opposite the middle finger. Exert Pressure Squeeze the ball with your thumb pushing against your middle finger. Delivery and Release Roll your fingers over the top of the ball on release. Your hand will supinate (thumb up, outward, clockwise RH, counterclockwise LH). This is the opposite rotation of a fastball. Compared to other grips This pitch is 10 to 20 mph slower than a fastball and may be a few mph slower than a change up. Since the ball rotates from top to bottom (vs. bottom to top) as seen by the hitter, it tends to drop faster than a changeup or a fastball. What the hitter sees This ball goes above the hand then the ball drops down (or across) to the hitter.
