Not very credible analysis
Dude writes that Affeldt can’t keep on getting over 60% of balls put in play against him hit on the ground, because his fastball doesn’t sink. He completely misses the fact that Jeremy might be gietting a large percentage of his balls in play from his breaking ball and off-speed pitches.

To be clear, I’m not saying his premise isn’t correct. I’m just saying that he’s only done less than 50% of the analysis that he needed to do to prove his point.
