Don't know where to stick this, but in with a discussion of Vargas seems appropriate. I sold a proposal last year to do a book on off-speed pitches, then had to set it aside to do another project which is just now wrapping up. So I'm about to start researching the pitching book. And I suddenly realize I have no idea where to start, or end. I had some vague thought of looking at Jamie Moyer's career, but other than that, nada. Hmm, why did I write that proposal again? I'd somehow like to meld Pitch fx data with real life talk and descriptions from real life pitchers.
In any event, I'd love to hear thoughts from the hyper-articulate SSI community on what ought to be in a book about pitchers who fool people for a living. They don't have to be well-thought out. Half-formed ideas will find a great deal of company in my brain.
Any ideas much appreciated.
Oh, the book is to be called:
