Optimization diagnostic / LAD
Blake Snell
Blake Snell's tools (76) outpace production (60) by 16 points. Primary finding: existing changeup is present, but its movement shape does not currently cover the desired arsenal-shape:-armside-drop window. Most actionable fix: reshape existing changeup to add arsenal shape: armside drop rather than developing a new pitch from scratch.
