Today’s major league pitchers are throwing faster than ever before. Batters are striking out more than ever before. “Pitching wins championships.” This old baseball quote was true some onehundred years ago when it was first spoken, and has not, and will not change.

What has changed however is the manner in which teams approach pitching. The methods used to scout, train, and utilize pitchers have shifted over the last two decades, drastically altering the game.

And the result is clear: baseball has a pitching problem.
