Selection & sources

Automatically selected from 39 exact-ID-matched strikeout highlights with complete tracking in completed games. New pitch types, then new pitchers, then higher speed determine the order; this is a sample, not a ranking of the day's best pitches. Notes are composed deterministically from MLB measurements. Updates automatically from the previous Eastern calendar day, checked every 15 minutes while the site is in use. Only completed games with verified clips and tracking qualify; fewer than five pitches may be available. Retrieved 2026-09-13. The clip is the MLB broadcast; if it stalls.

Speed, spin and plate location: observed MLB tracking data. Flight: derived from the fitted position, velocity and acceleration at approximately 50 feet from home, ending at the game feed’s plate plane (y = 17/12 ft). These game-feed coordinates are checked against its reported plate location; they are not the 2026 Savant CSV’s middle-of-plate values. The chart is separate from the broadcast playback.
