Stephen Strasburg 's fastball is raising some interesting questions. While Strasburg was on the mound on Monday, a Tweet and an email (so old fashioned) came in asking about the Surprise, AZ, PITCHf/x data. Was it hot? Strasburg throwing 101 was a surprise to many, and seeing him sit near 98 for a few innings raised more questions. I took a look at the two PITCHf/x installations in the Arizona Fall...

Not sure if there is an official announcement but the same pitch f/x technology found in all 30 MLB stadiums will now be at two ballparks in the Arizona Fall League: Surprise and Peoria. The Rays minor league pitchers play for the Phoenix team so they won't have a good deal of data but at least there will be some to look at later this month. For now, the pitch f/x nerds are just waiting for Stephen...

The A+ Charlotte Stone Crabs of the Florida State League are matched up against the Fort Myers Miracle in a best of 3 series. The Crabs made the playoffs by finishing 2ns in the FSL South to the Miracle despite a dreadful team slash line of .242/.315/.339. Their season was buttressed...
