Pitching Performance Stats
Pitchers at every level of the game face the same challenges in pitching effectively. Obviously correct pitching mechanics allow a pitcher to take the mound but it is the recurring situations they face and successfully overcome that define an effective and successful pitcher. Once you've started using More than ERA™ you will have access to a vast array of statistics. We have organized these statistics into information that will allow you to evaluate your pitchers in the following major performance areas:
Note to Parents of Youth League Pitchers: Pitching at the youth league level is particularly challenging, your child’s body is growing every day and they are constantly fighting coordination over the changes in their body. It is imperative that every pitcher understand proper pitching mechanics before they undertake any extended pitching efforts. In addition, the psychological pressure of pitching in a baseball or softball game bring unusual performance pressure on a young person. In watching the broadcast of professional baseball games sportscasters generally feature the velocity, location and type of pitch that a pitcher is throwing as the primary keys to success. In general those factors are attributes of an adult pitcher with professional development and experience. However they are not the attributes that need to be taught to allow a young person to develop as a pitcher. The performance information that we feature in our system reflects the type of information that the High School Coaches, College Coaches and MLB Directors of Player Personnel look at to determine which pitchers are progressing and are ready to pitch at the next level. Using these performance factors will help your child to develop into and effective pitcher and enjoy the role of a pitcher.

Teaching a pitching system or philosophy requires establishing goals or standards that performance can be measured against. More than ERA™ will allow you to establish performance goals or standards for any aspect of your pitchers performance. Once the goal or standard has been established these standards will be presented in each report where that type of performance is being presented. Examples of a few of the goals or standards that can be established:
