Pitchers, the pitches they throw, and how they throw them -- these
days it's the stuff of constant scrutiny, but there's never been
anything like a "comprehensive source" for such information. That's
what preeminent baseball analyst Bill James and ESPN.com baseball
columnist Rob Neyer realized over lunch more than a dozen years
ago. Since then, they've been compiling the centerpiece of this
book, the "Pitcher Census," which lists specific information for
nearly two thousand pitchers, ranging throughout the history of
professional baseball. The "Guide" also offers:
- A "dictionary" describing virtually every known pitch
- The origins and development of baseball's most important
pitches
- Top ten lists: best fastballs, best spitballs, and everything
in between
- Biographies of some of the great pitchers who have been
overlooked
- More knuckleballers and submariners than you ever thought
existed
- An open debate concerning pitcher abuse and durability
- A formula for predicting the Cy Young Award winner
- Something fresh and new: Bill James' "Pitcher Codes"
The "Neyer/James Guide to Pitchers" is about understanding
pitchers, and baseball's action always starts with the pitchers.
It's also about entertaining debates and having a great deal of fun
with the history of a game that obsesses so many.
