Manny Ramirez vs Pitch Speed

So here is a quick look at Manny Ramirez vs various pitch speeds.


So what kind of conclusions can we draw from this chart? Well, until we calculate league average, not much. We can't know if this is good or bad. One thing I can say is that his contact percentage is fairly consistent vs pitch speed. I am looking forward to calculating the league averages at these various speeds to see just where Manny is on average.

My next two projects will be calculating league average at these various speeds and then doing some random players to see if anything jumps out.

With that said, does anyone have any stats that they would like to see?

Disclaimer: BABIP includes HR's. The BABIP is off from what fangraphs has because there are pitches that aren't tracked by Pitch F/X
