Another good read, Julien. My favorite article on perceived velocity is this one, which also touches on location as a contributing factor (in addition to release point) in the context of effective velocity: http://www.sbnation.com/longform/2014/6/18/5818380/effective-velocity-pitching-theory-profile-perry-husband.

In Ben Lindbergh’s article he showed that there is a low correlation between height and extension. So, just because a player is short, doesn’t mean he will have a bad perceived velocity. The Brewers as a team, also, have one of the better differences between there actual and perceived velocity.

The Brewers starting rotation is small/shorter compared to most in league, Peralta, Anderson, Davis, are all 6-0, 6-1. Nelson our best is 6-6. The Mets staff averages 6-4, the Cubs,6-4. They all release the ball almost a foot closer to plate than Peralta or Anderson.
