Plus there was the knuckleballers, where he profiled Charlie Hough a bit but he didn't separate them into a category. I don't think he was going for an exhaustive list of all the various types, just the main archtypes that most people know: power pitchers, closers, control freaks, crafty lefties.<BR/><BR/>I know that Morris probably would fall under Control Freaks, as his BB/9 is very low, even if his K/9 isn't very high.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I don't think Tippett covered all the pitchers who could keep H/9 low, he just wanted to show that there are pitchers who can control H/9, but that they are in the minority (though significant), the vast majority cannot control H/9.obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-5438508231177926382007-04-28T11:02:00.000-07:002007-04-28T11:02:00.000-07:00Another question might be what kind of factors lea...Another question might be what kind of factors lead to a below average BABIP. Are there things these kinds of pitchers have in common?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
