Also, his knuckle curve seemed to disappear in ’16 as opposed to ’15. Both could be the result of a lower arm slot.

When I watched Jimmy last year, he would have stretches where it was easy to tell if the pitch was going to be in the zone or not. Basically, the number of ‘non-competitive’ pitches was high. Where can I find heat maps that would prove/dis-prove this observation?
