If youre a major league team looking for a market inefficiency, is it as simple as seeing if the coach at your Texas high school team pushed his pitchers too hard?
So theres an interesting study: More of the successful, Hall of Fametype pitchers come from up north. And more of the hitters come from everywhere a lot of them are from the South. And yes, if Im a team, and I could draft a pitcher who pitched year-round, Id be very hesitant.
So the inefficiency could be this kid from Vermont from a lowly touted high school who has an electric arm but doesnt pitch that much.
Possibly, yes.
