The original chart didn’t pull Pitching+ in properly. That has been updated as of 1:18 pm CT on Monday, July 29th.
Pitch+ is the Pitching+ stat. Here’s a primer on it.
What does the Pitch+ column represent? I do not see that stat on the player page, but it looks like it could be something like Location+ or some other measure of “Stuff”?
It is in fact Loc+ and Stf+! https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=y&type=38&season=2024&month=0&season1=2024&ind=0&pagenum=1&pageitems=2000000000 — leaderboard | https://library.fangraphs.com/pitching/stuff-location-and-pitching-primer/ — primer
A spot check suggests the Pitch+ column in the chart is populating with Location+. E.g., Zach Eflin is listed in the chart at a 108 Pitch+, and in the leaderboard you linked to, he is listed as having 94 Stuff+, 108 Location+ and 104 Pitching+.
If the intent is to populate that column with Location+, it seems like the column title should be Loc+ … if the intent is to populate that column with Pitching+, a fix is needed.
Thanks!
Ty for the heads up, lemme fix it!!
