Dear MLB clubs: I am a free agent and I want to play some baseball next year
Thanks to the @Twins and their democratizing of my data, I was finally ENCOURAGED to throw fastballs up in the zone – EXCLUSIVELY
I have never pitched a season with this philosophy... 1/n

Instead, I’ve always been encouraged to throw my fastball down in the zone…you know – at the knees like everyone has always thought was a good place to throw them.
Let’s see how that turned out for me...2/n

I’ve thrown some “well located” fastballs that got annihilated.
What if I just threw fastballs UP in the zone and paired them with my slider down in the zone? Check it out…
(note: I’ve had FBs up get annihilated too, but not nearly as many). 3/n

I thought 2020 was going to be my chance to finally employ a pitching strategy that's conducive with my pitch physics.
Obviously I cant guarantee this will work, but I would still like a chance to find out against some real hitters in some real games. 4/n

P.S. In the future, I hope that every baseball player can have access to their data, and coaches to help understand it to get better.
That way they don't have to experience a .575 wOBA like I did... /end
