Pitch data

Recorded measurements and MLBDB estimates from the pitches thrown and the balls put in play against this pitcher. Each table's note says which.

MLBDB calculates these numbers from recorded game measurements. EV balls and LA balls show the sample sizes. EV+LA balls have both measurements and are used for barrel percentage. Seasons without these measurements show N/A.

BBE: Batted Balls Allowed. Completed turns to bat that ended with a batted ball, including home runs. Some balls have no speed or angle measurement.
EV+LA balls: Balls with Recorded Speed and Angle Allowed. Balls that have both a usable speed and angle measurement. These are the balls used to calculate barrel percentage.
MLBDB barrels: MLBDB Barrels Allowed. Balls hit very hard at an angle suited to deep hits. MLBDB checks the recorded speed and angle against its documented barrel zone. Balls missing either measurement are left out. Rounded measurements can affect close calls. This is MLBDB's calculated classification.
MLBDB Barrel%: MLBDB Barrel Percentage Allowed. The percentage of balls with both speed and angle recorded that MLBDB counts as barrels. Missing measurements are left out. Formula: 100 × barrels ÷ balls with recorded speed and angle.
EV balls: Balls with Recorded Speed Allowed. All batted balls with a usable speed measurement, including bunts. This is the sample used for hard-hit percentage.
Avg EV balls: Average Exit Velocity Sample Allowed. Balls with recorded speed, excluding labelled bunts. Used for average and maximum exit velocity.
Avg EV: Average Exit Velocity Allowed. Average ball speed just after contact, in miles per hour. Balls with no speed measurement are left out. Balls labelled as bunts are excluded. Unknown bunt labels are retained. Formula: Sum of recorded speeds excluding labelled bunts ÷ Avg EV balls.
Max EV: Maximum Exit Velocity Allowed. The fastest recorded batted ball, in miles per hour. Balls labelled as bunts are excluded. Unknown bunt labels are retained.
Hard-hit%: Hard-Hit Percentage Allowed. The percentage of speed-measured balls hit at least 95 miles per hour. Formula: 100 × hard-hit balls ÷ balls with recorded speed.
LA balls: Balls with Recorded Angle Allowed. All batted balls with a usable angle measurement, including bunts. This is the sample used for sweet-spot percentage.
Avg LA balls: Average Launch Angle Sample Allowed. Balls with recorded angle, excluding labelled bunts. Used for average launch angle.
Avg LA: Average Launch Angle Allowed. Average angle at which the ball leaves the bat, in degrees. A negative angle points toward the ground. Higher is not always better. Balls labelled as bunts are excluded. Unknown bunt labels are retained. Formula: Sum of recorded angles excluding labelled bunts ÷ Avg LA balls.
Sweet-spot%: Sweet-Spot Percentage Allowed. The percentage of angle-measured balls launched from 8 to 32 degrees. Formula: 100 × sweet-spot balls ÷ balls with recorded angle.

Direction is estimated from recorded hit locations and the hand used to bat on each play. Rates divide by Located balls and show N/A below 95% location coverage. Unmapped balls are left out. Higher is not always better.

MLBDB estimates these from recorded ball speed and angle, for seasons from 2018. A season or period shows N/A if any batted ball it needs is missing a measurement or falls outside what the model covers. That is common over a full season, and in 2018 and 2019 no regular player has complete measurements. Estimated ERA also needs the estimated wOBA to be inside the range its equation was checked on; the 2026 equation is provisional. Differences use actual results from the same completed games. These describe recorded contact, not future performance.

IP: Innings pitched. .1 and .2 mean one and two outs.
ERA: Earned run average, earned runs per nine innings. Formula: 27 × ER ÷ outs recorded.
MLBDB xERA: MLBDB Estimated ERA. Estimated earned runs per nine innings, converted from MLBDB's expected wOBA with a separate equation for each season. Available for 2018 through 2026 when every needed contact contribution is available and unrounded expected wOBA is within the reviewed range. The 2026 equation is provisional. This describes recorded pitching; short periods can be unstable or N/A.
ERA − MLBDB xERA: ERA Minus MLBDB Estimate. Recorded ERA minus MLBDB's estimate, using the same completed games. A positive number means more earned runs were recorded than estimated. This does not measure luck alone. N/A when no pitching outs were recorded, the estimate is unavailable, or the saved game totals disagree with the latest totals.
Model balls: Opponents' Measured Balls Used in Estimates. Eligible batted balls with both speed and angle recorded. Defensive awards that do not count as at-bats are excluded.
Measured%: Opponents' Expected-Stat Measurement Coverage. The share of eligible batted balls with both speed and angle recorded. Each expected statistic shows N/A if any contact value it needs is missing or outside model support.
MLBDB xBA: Opponents' MLBDB Expected Batting Average. Estimated hits per at-bat from ball speed, angle and same-season running speed when available. Strikeouts remain at-bats. Each needed contact contribution must be available. Reviewed seasons are 2018 through 2026; the current season is provisional. Formula: Estimated hits in at-bats ÷ at-bats.
AVG − MLBDB xBA: Opponents' Batting Average Minus Expected. Recorded batting average minus the estimate, using the same completed games. A positive number means the actual result was higher. This does not measure luck alone.
MLBDB xSLG: Opponents' MLBDB Expected Slugging Percentage. Estimated bases from hits per at-bat. Singles count once, doubles twice, triples three times and home runs four times. Formula: Estimated total bases in at-bats ÷ at-bats.
SLG − MLBDB xSLG: Opponents' Slugging Minus Expected. Recorded slugging minus the estimate, using the same completed games. A positive number means more bases were recorded than estimated.
MLBDB xwOBA: Opponents' MLBDB Expected Weighted Batting Average. Combines reconstructed expected contact values with recorded walks and hit-by-pitches. Walks and hit batters use the same season's batting weights. Intentional walks are excluded. Every needed contact value must be available.
wOBA − MLBDB xwOBA: Opponents' Weighted Average Minus Expected. Recorded weighted batting average minus the estimate, using the same completed games and batting weights.
Missing pairs: Opponents' Balls with Incomplete Measurements. Eligible balls missing speed, angle or both. These inputs are not filled in. The affected expected statistic is N/A, and the real appearance remains counted.

CU %: Curveball usage. The percentage of all delivered pitches recorded as this type. Pitches with unknown types stay in the total. These percentages describe the recorded labels, so check type coverage. Formula: 100 × pitches of this recorded type ÷ all delivered pitches.
CU mph: Curveball average speed. Average recorded speed in miles per hour. Only pitches with a usable speed measurement are included. Speed count shows how many were measured. Formula: Sum of recorded speeds ÷ pitches with speed measurements.
CU max mph: Curveball fastest recorded pitch. Highest recorded speed in miles per hour. This uses available measurements and may miss a faster pitch that was not measured.
CU rpm: Curveball average spin. How fast the ball spins, measured in turns per minute. Only measured pitches are included. More spin is not always better. Formula: Sum of recorded spin rates ÷ pitches with spin measurements.
CU ext ft: Curveball average extension. How far toward home plate the pitcher releases the ball, measured in feet from the pitching rubber. Only pitches with this measurement are included. Formula: Sum of recorded extensions ÷ pitches with extension measurements.
CU side in: Curveball average sideways movement. Average sideways bend from the pitch's initial flight direction, in inches. Positive is to the pitcher's right when looking toward home plate; negative is left. This direction stays the same for left- and right-handed pitchers. Zero is a real measurement. More movement is not automatically better. Formula: Sum of recorded sideways movement ÷ pitches with sideways movement measured.
CU vert in: Curveball average vertical movement with gravity. Average upward or downward bend from the pitch's initial flight direction, in inches. Includes gravity. Positive is upward; negative is downward. This is not the change in height from the pitcher's hand to the plate. Only measured pitches are included. Formula: Sum of recorded vertical movement including gravity ÷ pitches with this measurement.
CU no-grav in: Curveball average vertical movement without gravity. Average vertical bend in inches after removing gravity's downward effect. Positive is upward; negative is downward. A positive number does not mean the ball actually rose on its way to the plate. Only measured pitches are included. Formula: Sum of recorded vertical movement with gravity removed ÷ pitches with this measurement.
CU whiff%: Curveball misses per swing. The percentage of swings that miss. Caught foul tips count as misses; ordinary fouls count as contact. N/A means no swings or an unclear pitch result. Formula: 100 × missed swings ÷ swings at this pitch type.
CU swings: Curveball swings. Recorded swings at this type of pitch, including bunts.
CU speed count: Curveball pitches with speed. Number of pitches with a usable speed measurement. This is the sample behind average speed.
CU spin count: Curveball pitches with spin. Number of pitches with a usable spin measurement. This is the sample behind average spin.
CU ext count: Curveball pitches with extension. Number of pitches with a usable release extension measurement. This is the sample behind average extension.
CU side count: Curveball pitches with sideways movement. Number of pitches with sideways movement recorded. This is the sample behind average sideways movement. Missing measurements are left out; recorded zeroes are included.
CU vert count: Curveball pitches with vertical movement. Number of pitches with vertical movement including gravity recorded. This is the sample behind that average. Missing measurements are left out; recorded zeroes are included.
CU no-grav count: Curveball pitches with vertical movement without gravity. Number of pitches with vertical movement recorded after gravity's effect is removed. This is the sample behind that average. Missing measurements are left out; recorded zeroes are included.
Type coverage: Pitch Type Coverage. The percentage of delivered pitches with a recognized type label. Pitch labels can be revised later. Missing labels are never guessed. Formula: 100 × pitches with a recognized type ÷ all delivered pitches.
