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.
You Aren't a FanGraphs Member
It looks like you aren't yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren't logged in). We aren't mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we'd like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won't bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.
3. Dark mode and Classic mode!
4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.
9. A weekly mailbag column, exclusively for Members.
10. Help support FanGraphs and our entire staff! Our Members provide us with critical resources to improve the site and deliver new features!
We hope you'll consider a Membership today, for yourself or as a gift! And we realize this has been an awfully long sales pitch, so we've also removed all the other ads in this article. We didn't want to overdo 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!!
