Right, and if you check every single strike out you will see they were all three pitches. If you check every single walk you will see they are all four pitches. And, you will see that for every single game.
So what you're saying is, don't pay attention to mlb.com. I just was looking at their player pages because the boxscores don't have the #pitches listed (that I could find), and that's really all you need to care about with most of the guys. Thanks for the heads-up.
Not only them. Espn and other sites do the same. I noticed it a couple of years ago. Guys kept walking and striking out on the minimum number of pitches
I don't pay that close attention to the ST games unless I'm watching them, or some highlights, but I guess I'll quit looking at the boxes too. Had no idea that were that sketchy.
When you listen to radio/TV coverage and have MLB's Gameday up at the same time, you notice this. With the minor league coverage over the last few years is where I first noticed it. And this year, with the Spring Training coverage, it's gotten even worse. It used to be just pitch location was wrong. Now if someone gets a hit on a full count, only one pitch shows up in Gameday - and it's right down the middle. So it's not just strike-outs & walks.I suspect interns are inputting the information. But whoever it is doing it, they're just plain lazy.
Is this a known fact or just someone on a message board talking s... about a young athlete that messed up pretty bad earlier in his life?

Down 6-0 to the Marlins in the top of the 9th and down to their last out, the Astros got a 2-run single from Kyle Tucker and a grand slam from Anibal Sierra to force a tie.
Tie? That's not baseball. They should start the 10th with a runner at second while anyone can bat regardless of place in the order.
Any strike out in spring training shows as 3 swinging strikes and any walk shows as 4 pitches. You cannot trust any pitch counts in the spring training PBP.
Eh, it's Spring Training. Maybe he was working on his 92 mph right down the middle pitches. You know how pitchers like to work on certain pitches in ST.
