	Baseball Prospectus \| Articles \| Pitcher Abuse Points
		Pitchers are several times more likely to get injured than hitters, and for every prospect that becomes a successful major league pitcher, a dozen more have their careers stalled or ended by injury.
		Pitchers who in the dead-ball era of baseball history were able to throw 300-350 innings a season without injury were subsequently marveled at as "iron men" whose exploits could not be repeated by contemporary pitchers.
		The reality, of course, is that of the vast number of minor league pitchers every year with outstanding ability, the ones who, for whatever reason, are able to avoid the injury bug are the ones most likely to become great pitchers.

	Depression-Era Submarine Pitcher Elden Auker
		In his debut as a big-league pitcher in 1933, Elden Auker strode to the mound at Yankee Stadium and looked in at the first batter he would face: Babe Ruth.
		He was 90 when he wrote a book about Depression-era baseball, "Sleeper Cars and Flannel Uniforms," and he freely offered pointed comments on how the game had changed.
		Auker was a solid, if unspectacular, right-handed pitcher who compiled a record of 130-101, with an ERA of 4.42.

	The Straight Dope: What's the purpose of the pitcher's mound in baseball? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Over the years, baseball men have tinkered with this and other variables in order to fine tune the delicate balance between pitching and batting.
		Thus in 1879, it took nine balls (i.e., nonstrikes) to draw a walk; before 1887, the batter had the right to demand a high or low pitch; the distance from pitcher's plate to home plate was increased from 45 to 50 feet in 1881, and again to 60 feet, 6 inches in 1893.
		The rules also give specifications for such things as the size of the pitcher's plate, or "rubber" (24 by 6 inches), the radius of the circle (nine feet), and the frontal slope (one inch per foot over a specified range).

	Training With Nonregulation-Sized Baseballs May Increase Pitcher's Strength and Speed
		Although strength in a pitcher's arms usually means added pitch speed -- or "heat," in baseball lingo -- researchers say it may also cause pitchers to alter their mechanics, which could lessen their effectiveness.
		The Medical College of Wisconsin estimates that a professional baseball pitcher rotates his arm at a speed of about 7,000 degrees per second at one point in the pitching motion, which is equivalent to rotating the arm all the way around 20 times in one second.
		It is also important for pitchers to develop flexibility and strength in the muscles of the arm and shoulder -- and to limit the number of throws made during games and practice sessions.

		But he doesn't deny that Japanese baseball has slipped from the lofty mantle it occupied when he was on the field in the 1950s.
		The decline in Japanese baseball also stems from the public's weariness with the Nippon Professional Baseball administrative organization, which is seen as stifling change.

	Is the velocity of a baseball pitcher's arm 100 MPH if his pitch is clocked going that fast?
		When a pitcher is preparing to throw the ball there is typically a 'wind-up' period.
		Once the pitcher gets the ball in motion she is effectively transferring momentum from her body to the ball.
		Hence it is not necessarily the case that her arm should move at the velocity the ball initially has.

	Digg - Switch-Pitcher Is Baseball’s Ultimate Specialist
		Umpires ultimately restored order, applying the rule (the same as that in the majors) that a pitcher must declare which arm he will use before throwing his first pitch and cannot change before the at-bat ends.
		The rule back then was that he couldn't switch arms during a game, which I felt was wrong cause a hitter could switch which side of the plate they were going to hit from, even during the same at-bat.
		If a pitchers body is tired, it doesn't matter how fresh his arm is. If he hits 90 with his right arm and not his left, he needs to throw right handed and learn to get lefties out.

	Pitcher Jim Brosnan, Throwing a Perfect Game (washingtonpost.com)
		The book was greeted with astonishment outside baseball, since the notion that a ballplayer could write (not to mention write well) was beyond consideration, and with fury inside baseball, where players and sportswriters charged that by portraying the game honestly, Brosnan had violated its code of omertà.
		It conveys, as no other book ever has, the dailiness of baseball, with its season that not merely is long but provides an endless, often inexplicable succession of ups and downs.
		Baseball is a tough game and, as that passage indicates, a merciless one as well.

	Sport Fanatics Fantasy Baseball - Relief Pitcher Holds
		A pitcher cannot finish the game and receive credit for a hold, and a pitcher can not earn a hold and a save in the same game.
		Remember the pitcher does not need to pitch a lot of innings, as the pitcher only needs to pitch for one out to obtain a hold.
		Evaluating relief pitchers is like drafting any other player for your team, the more valuable relief pitchers will not be good in just the holds category, but will also contribute positively to your team ERA, WHIP and strikeout totals.

	Throwing Batters Curves Before Throwing a Pitch - New York Times
		The pitch was nothing remarkable: Pat Venditte, Creighton University’s temporarily right-handed pitcher, threw a fastball past a Northern Iowa batter for a called strike three.
		Venditte is believed to be the only ambidextrous pitcher in N.C.A.A. Division I college baseball, the ultimate relief specialist.
		College baseball has had a few switch-pitchers in the past 15 years, but the major leagues have had only one since the 19th century: Greg Harris, primarily a right-handed reliever for many clubs from 1981 through 1995, pitched one inning using both arms for the Montreal Expos in his final season.
