Hunting For Stats
I was looking for pitching stats about how many swing and misses different pitchers get either at the major or minor league level but I cant seem to find any site that has this data.
Anyone know of site that keeps this type of data? Buster Olney had a small listing of I the most swing and misses by pitchers from yesterday's games, so I was looking for something of that variety but hopefully a bit more comprehensive.
Any suggestions would help

Young Lefties
Wanted to get your take on a couple of the minors best lefties not named clayton & david in b. anderson & m. bumgarner
Anderson has pitched well at higher levels A+ & AA has a very good K rate & and gets tons of groundballs. Scouts seem divided with some projecting him as more of a 3/4 solid but not spectacular mlb starter and others arguing that his improved conditioning and development could lead to some upticks in his fastball velocity and when you combine that with his command you are looking at more of a 1/2 starter.
Bumgarner has dominated Low A ball this year but that is somewhat to be expected as a lefty with mid 90's velocity and good command. Scouts seem to think his secondary pitches are showing good development and he has more polish and command than most expected. Especially when you consider his age, his ceiling is quite high and could project as a #1 starter.
So which spec is your guy? Brett or Bum?
