Pitch-By-Pitch Data

Thanks to the tremendous work at Retrosheet.org in addition to general play-by-play info such as 4-3. We also have some info on the sequence of pitches thrown: ball-strike looking-foul-strike swinging, etc.

Pit Total Pitches Thrown

Str Strikes Thrown

Ct Strikes with contact (either in play or a foul ball)

Sw Strikes Swinging and Missing

Lk Strikes Looking

These values are only given when we know the values for the entire game and for all plays. See our Data Coverage Page for a full report on how much and for when we have this data. Please let us know if you have questions.
