"It's no secret," Breslow said at his introductory press conference, "pitching - specifically starting pitching - is an area of need in this organization."
"When a catcher or a pitching coach said (in the past), 'Hey, this guy's not very good on a pitch inside,' they didn't have as much analytical data to back that up. They just got with their eyes. ... Now they have analytical data that says 'Hey, this guy in this (hitting zone) has an X slug (expected slugging percentage) of .145, which is not good.' So we can exploit that."
