What is this for? Well it's an easy reference point for data as well as simply copy/paste material for those able. Say I wanted to create a velocity/h. break movement chart for every pitcher on the table. Basically this is a good way of seeing what makes the pitchers different.

I don't have anything profound to present quite yet, but i did want to make this data easily found without digging through each player card like I did.
