Yeah, you definitely made a big offer (although there's some value to AB too, who is looking great out of the pen, and the picks). I offered 2 top 40 prospects plus Heaney for JD and never even got a response. Guess I know why now.
That was my first thought too, but the type confidence is reasonably high (higher than other pitches in the at bat at any rate). Either the system is pretty damn sure it doesn't know what the pitch is, or it's something else.
Anyone know what pitch type "IN" is? I ran across it in the gameday files, and can't find any info about it. Do a search for (pitch_type="IN") without the brackets in the file below.

Throw him right off the end of the bench. Maybe he'll grace our opponents with the privilege of always throwing to the wrong base and not understanding the fundamentals in general.
