@Andrew: Where was the game at? Data is only available if it's at a MLB park. That being said we'd clearly have some data on Salas from his MLB innings this year.

A pitch F/x would be nice for Salas’s very impressive inning during the AAA All Star game today.

@VolsnCards5:

Sorry, yes they are form the catcher’s perspective.

As far as movement a good place to start is here http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2009/7/18/953255/graph-of-the-day-average-spin

10 is a lot, better than average definitely.

it’s from the catcher’s POV relative to a theoretical ptich with no spin

Question: I’m pretty new to Pitch F/X

Is this looking from catcher’s view or pitchers view…I’m assuming catchers, otherwise, those fastballs seem to me to have more cutting action than “tailing” action…Also, what is considered good tailing numbers….you stated that a good sinker is in the 4-5 inch of vertical movement range…what is considered good for a tailing fastball, because it seems to me that 10 inches of horizontal movement is a lot
