Joey Votto on calling time to try to break up Roy Halladayโs no-hitter in the 2010 NLDS โ and running into him at the All-Star Game the next year:
โHey, remember when you called time out twice during that at-bat?
I wanted to KILL you.โ ๐

Here's Tarik Skubal's blurb on the book.
If you're interested in how pitch design has changed from Candy Cummings till today, how Tom Seaver and Nolan Ryan led to today's training routines...or how Paul Skenes & Tarik Skubal developed into Cy Young winners, you'd love it. If you don't like pitching at all, you won't. ๐

Good question. It's less about sabr stuff and more about the people involved in pitching's evolution (including Ryan and Seaver)...and why pitching today might look different. There are definitely nods to historically great pitchers, going back to Christy Mathewson. It's not a "math" or stat book.

Paul Skenes has no idea how to throw curveball, as whatever he threw was closer to slider. And he agrees seeing his usage went from 11 to 5%
And hes STILL top 2 pitcher in baseball. Imagine if McLean would teach him his curve
