Well, it is no battle. That just sounded intimidating. So, yesterday, I wanted to see what fans thought about the Kershaw – Koufax debate… and it pretty much went the way I believed. However, yesterday I deliberately withheld some evidence that may or may not change your minds. This evidence will cause you to re-assess how you might look at things. So, here is the evidence:
- When Sandy Koufax pitched, the mound was 15.” When Clayton Kershaw pitcher, it had been lowered to 10″
- In the 2000’s analytics, sabermetrics, and film study of pitchers became an “industry” and today there are many computerized devices to make in-game adjustments that never existed in the past.
