Found April 16, 2009 on Cubs f/x:
David Patton got into his second big league game on Wednesday, coming on early to relieve Rich Harden (more on Rich's three innings later). David worked two frames, again, and looked good.

I'm going to skip some detail and just run down where things stand between me, Patton and PITCHf/x

  • I really do think that's a curveball, based on the Wrigley data and...

  • His release point split remains in place, which lends credence to the curveball classification

  • Patton's good at this pitching thing

  • He didn't keep the ball down as well as he did in Milwaukee

  • David threw two change-ups. One of them may be a different pitch, possibly a splitter

  • There may have been a two-seam fastball in there, but...

  • I need more data for those last two points.
