Kind of a random question, but I've been wondering why Justin Slaten's curveball doesn't get better marks from Stuff+. It gets a perfect 80 from PitchingBot and it got a pretty good Stuff+ score last year, 121, but it's only at 94 this year and a 107 for his career. It seems like the combination of velocity and break would make it a great pitch, but Stuff+ isn't super impressed, and given his decent but not great results with the pitch, Stuff+ seems to be correct. Any ideas what's going on here?
Part of a longer discussion, but Eno's Stuff+ model has been pretty uninterpretable this year from my POV. I absolutely love him, great dude, ground-breaking work by him in the public space, honestly, but I don't understand a bunch of grades. Even if the r^2 there is better. I haven't been looking much at individual shape grades but rather the summed total Stuff+.
Maybe I have to upskill myself or something on approach angles and expected movement / admit I haven't done much asking around on this. But this Slaten example is something I just don't get
