Effect of different weather conditions on pitcher command quality.

Pitcher command quality in different temperatures. Sweet spot from 55-70 degrees?

I didn't include snow in the first graph due to a small sample size, but the effect looks big even with a large error bar.

Great study by @Pitching_Bot, not only looking at defensive fielder positioning, but finding ways to do it better. #SMTDataChallenge #UCSAS2022 1/

Does anyone know where these large spikes of visits to my website came from? (pitchingbot.com not the pitcher grades app) I assume it was linked to from somewhere but can't find out where.

I'll be at #UCSAS2022 in ten days' time presenting my defensive positioning algorithm which is a finalist for @SMTlive's Data Challenge. Here's my poster

I've seen it suggested that banning the shift will increase the value of infielder range. I used my defensive models to see if that's the case. There isn't much of an overall effect, but there are significant changes with individual positions and batter handedness.

How do I define range? A shift in the probability of reaching a ball using the curves below. E.g. +1 range reaches 50/50 balls at around a 75% rate My infield model isn't very certain on fielding probability so one "unit" of range corresponds to a large ability shift.

What does this mean? Infielder range will be more or less useful depending on batter handedness. One could foresee a kind of fielding platoon for rangy 2B/3Bs, playing a different position based on the composition of the opposing lineup.
