Jun 6 2026
Let's begin our one-split-away theme by taking a look at the lefty-righty skill splits of starting pitchers.
This analysis can help you find hidden skills before they blossom, which can be especially helpful to identify hidden growth in young starting pitchers. It can also help you set your rotations based on the lineups your pitchers are facing.
These starting pitchers have shown the widest skill splits when facing RH and LH bats (min 20 IP vs. RH/LH):
