Josh Johnson 2012: We're Worried

[Mainge]

His slider isn't something that should be negated by lefties.

Are you looking for this starts breakdown, or seasonal?

[Swifty]

I'm looking for as much as is out there.

Start to start is great, season is great.

I think there'd be value in finding the JJ "hit hard" starts the last three years, look at his fastball % and compare them to this year. Then from there see what the problem is. I think, for the most part, the velocity concern is off the table.
--------------------
....

Because it's pretty clear "good" JJ or "dominant" JJ just isn't a reasonable comp for him right now. I'd like to see what he did when he got hit hard and see if it's the same or different from what he's doing now pitch selection wise.

His fastball and slider percentage are both sligly down from last year while is changeup percentage is basically doubled.

Is there a way to get start-to-start pitch breakdown?

Is there a way to get start-to-start pitch breakdown?

If there is, I can't find it. Bobbob would know probably. I'll summon him:

[Swifty]

Two questions: what's FT%? and what's pace?

Two questions: what's FT%? and what's pace?

No idea.

[HUGG]

FA is 4-seam, FT is 2-seam
--------------------
Pace is seconds per pitch. 21.5 is the average.

I've been summoned!

Should be able to isolate based on time frame and pitch type, if you so choose.

[Todd]

Very worried.

[Erick]

I am not very worried.

[Bobbob1313]

I'm somewhere between.

[MiamiHomer]

Very worried.

I now feel better.

[Namaste]

I'm worried that he was talking to himself on the mound. Never seen him do that before.

[HUGG]

He was talking to tr305's wife via a tiny bluetooth.
