| Post subject: | SP Mat Latos (Wii) - Padres, Reds |
So here's a guy no one has done, that has been a fringy ace for the Padres and Reds over the past few years. I will attempt to make him tonight - help and feedback appreciated. My original thoughts are Quote: Mat Latos - Padres in '08, righty SP, FB top speed 96, 2SFB 1, SLD 3, Curveball 1, changeup 1 contributor Eric Davis 44 had this in 2011: Quote: Mat Latos , , SD , 22 , 1 , SP , SP , 160 , 152 , Fastball Life 4, W/RISP 4, Dr. K, Hot Head Recovery, and this in 2012: Quote: P , 2 , Mat Latos , Latos , Mat , , CIN , P , SP , 24 , 142 , 163 , , , , , , , , rel2 , rec4 , , , , , , , Dr. K , , , , , , , , cons4 , , over , 97 , 4SFB , , SLV , 4 , 2SFB , 2 , CHG , 4 , CB , 2 , , wikipedia has some good detail, too: Quote: Latos throws five pitches. He throws a four-seam fastball (91 to 96 miles per hour (146 to 154 km/h)), a two-seam fastball (90 to 94 miles per hour (145 to 151 km/h)), a slider (84 to 87 miles per hour (135 to 140 km/h)), a curveball (78 to 82 miles per hour (126 to 132 km/h)), and a changeup (82 to 85 miles per hour (132 to 137 km/h)). He mostly relies on his four-seamer and slider against right-handed hitters while adding considerable variety against lefties.[43] The 42% whiff rate on his slider is one of the best among major league starters.[44] So averaging EricDavis' ideas, with wiki, fangraphs, and my own, I come up with something like this: top speed 96 control 150? stamina 150? He's averaged over 6 innings, but has very few CG's, so low to mid B I am thinking 2SFB 2-3 (per fangraphs, this pitch moves the MOST of any he throws) SLD 2-3 (his slider has had z-Mov off and on, so I can understand SLV, but it averages around 0 over the years and was often negligible. However, his slider is one of the best at inducing whiffs [top 20]...so we need to consider 3-4) CB 1-3 CHG 1-3?? Fastball Life 4, maybe w/RISP 4 maybe recovery 4 maybe Dr. K maybe, probably not, don't want to overpower him Release 2, maybe something like Hot Head or Poor Morale - he was known to yell at teammates when they made errors, or umpires with bad calls... feedback welcome! This guy's one of the best starters from '09-'12, so we gotta do him right... |

Top speed 96 Control high-C/low-B Stamina low/mid-B Hard Slider 2 Splitter 5 Curveball 2 2SFB 2 Recovery 4 Fastball Life 4 Spin 4? Dr. K - No. His K rate is declining Release 2? Hot Head That's what I would go with at least |

He should definitely have A Stamina if he's an ace, expecially with the way Stamina works in the game I'd also give him low-B control |

AgentP, what are you looking at to determine Hard Slider and Splitter? The slider might made sense just based on velocity I guess? But splitter I have no idea, nothing I've looked at describes it at such. |

The "FC" listed on Fangraphs has great Z-movement like a split would, and the change is just a slower version of that - and he hasn't been using that much of late |

Whew! Thanks to chat advice, I hit a TOn of batters my last two games to avoid vs lefty 4. I had to settle for poise 4 instead of the other blues. Just so happy it's over god
