The Dead Fish Pitch: Debunking Baseball's Slow-Motion Strategy
from Intellectually Curious · host Mike Breault
A data-driven dive into the Eephus pitch—the infamous 'dead fish'—exploring its history, the physics behind a slow, high-spin arc, and what the data really says about contact quality, exit velocity, and on-base percentage. We separate myth from method, examine why this oddball pitch persists, and discuss how teams might use it as a legitimate tool in modern baseball.Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.
