Minor League Ball Minor League Splits Pitching Probables

 

Does anyone know why minor league splits.com does not show carolina league pitching probables?  I just found it strange that every other league is listed but the carolina league.  There was nowhere to ask on that site so I thought someone here might know the answer.  I was trying to come up with some sort of reason why the carolina league would not be listed but I could not think of any off the top of my head.

Minor League Ball 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

Minor League Ball 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?
