Heads up: All models on this page are in their early stages and should be considered placeholders. The underlying methodology is still being refined — take the specific numbers with a grain of salt.

How Models Work

A guided tour of the pitch grading stack

These pages explain what each model measures, how the grades are trained, and how to interpret every score you see in the app.

Core idea
Separate command from stuff, then recombine.

Location+ measures command. Stuff+ measures physical nastiness on residual xRV after command is removed. Pitching+ brings both signals back together with sequencing and context.

Target
Expected Run Value (xRV)

All pitch grade models target xRV. Negative xRV means runs prevented (good for pitchers). Every score is scaled to a 100 mean so higher is always better.
