Short form pitch movement is how coaches, analysts and players all think about pitching. Understanding how to read pitch plots and think about movement in this language is essential to developing your knowledge of pitching.

In this video, I'll do my best to break down how to read a pitch plot and use an analogy or two to help enlighten you on how movement works. I'll also discuss different pitch movement plots and how they act as the evolving fingerprint of pitchers.

Hopefully, this helps you gain an understanding of pitch movement. As always, if you need further clarification, I'll be in the comments below.
