A little more on Leigh That's a really unique profile. Two distinct breaking balls at ~2800 rpms, plus a fastball at ~2500. Looking at a leaderboard for this year I only see a couple of guys in that neighborhood, https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/pitch-arsenals?year=2022&min=100&type=avg_spin&hand=&sort=6&sortDir=desc Ironically though they're all bad? Trevor Megill, Lucas Sims, Luke Bard, Drew Smith. It's a quick and dirty comparison (literally just RPMs and MPH), but interesting considering how impressive each of the individual underlying skills are. Looks like it might be the same breaking pitch?
