Stringers are in every major league park, and most levels of minor league ball, too. They manually record various aspects of the game as it progresses. If you're watching an MLB.com Gameday feed, you're seeing a combination of PITCHf/x data (speed, location, pitch type, etc.) and stringer observation (where the ball went, how it got there, who fielded it, etc.). There's a level of detail that's not often discussed—or present—in the Gameday information, that could provide assistance in evaluating pitches, and the pitchers who throw them.
