More Observations

AKA:  Cool things on Fangraphs

Best slider pitcher:  Francisco Liriano
Best slider hitter:  Ty Wigginton
Worst slider hitter:  Ryan Ludwick

Best cutter pitcher:  Phil Hughes
Best cutter hitter:  Evan Longoria
Worst cutter hitter:  Victor Martinez

Best curveball pitcher:  Adam Wainright
Best curveball hitter:  Robinson Cano  (surprisingly)
Worst curveball hitter:  Pablo Sandoval

Best changeup pitcher:  Tim Lincecum
Best changeup hitter:  Andre Ethier
Worst changeup hitter:  Jose Reyes

Brandon Morrow is the second best starting pitcher at getting batters to swing and miss.  Carlos Marmol is the best reliever.  Doug Fister is third worst.

Yovani Gallardo throws more balls than any other starter.  The pitchers who throw the fewest balls are Rodrigo Lopez, Johan Santana, and Brian Matusz.  I own two of them.  Maybe they should attack the zone a little less.

David Wright is striking out in half of his at-bats in May but still hitting .258 for the month.  Ike Davis is striking out 40% of the time but batting over .300 for the month.
