At this point I'm just trying different data collections to see if there's anything interesting. Few things here:
1. If it seems like there's no data points from the first 10 starts, that's incorrect. They're simply hid behind the second starts which are strikingly similar.
2. It appears Garza's release point was a bit more in front and higher in his last 10 starts than the previous 20.
3. In the last 10, Garza gave up more homeruns per start but also averaged more strikeouts. Risk/reward or completely coincidental?
