about Lahman database...
It might not have anything to do with OOTP, but I was looking through 'master' table of Lahman database for some reason, and I found a couple of columns named 'fastball', 'slider', 'curve', ...
I thought those would indicate pitch types and the numbers for each column would mean pitch value or usage frequency or something.
but it seemed that wasn't the case, as I found Kershaw's curve was assigned 5 while Rivera's cutter was 1.
Any idea what they mean? If so, please leave a comment.
