Pitch sequences have always been extremely interesting to me. Throwing pitches in an intelligent sequence is one tool which a pitcher has in order to gain a significant advantage over the batter. When I first started writing about batting eye this was one of the topics I thought would be interesting to look into. In fact one of the first comments I got was from Russell 'Pizza Cutter' Carleton asking when I was going to write about pitch sequences. I think that batting eye and selectivity are new tools which we can use to see what effect pitch sequence has on the batter's ability to perceive the second pitch and their bias on whether to swing or not.
