Welcome to Pitcher List 4.0!
Every year, the Pitcher List staff works hard through the offseason to bring an exciting update to the site. This year, we have plenty to show you today and even more to show you in the upcoming months.
Watch this video to see what’s new in 4.0:
– Pitcher GIF Database Update
- Over 2,800 GIFs made, over 2,800 pitch descriptions written
- “Fastball” has now been split into four-seamer and two-seamer/sinker for pitchers that feature both. Over 20% GIFs added as a result!
– Player Pages have been revamped
- Hitter pages added
- Related Articles added
- VPR and xStats updated
- SP Roundup, Batter’s Box and Nastiest GIF archives prepared for the regular season
- Team Pages sorted by current roles

- 2019 is the season of MORE EVERYTHING.

oooh an app, shiny
You guys are amazing
Thanks Colin!
Yes, Nick! Been waiting for the new GIFs to come in. Can’t wait to watch all 3,000 of them.
This is amazing stuff, congrats and keep up the good work guys!
This looks awesome. My boss is going to hate you.
Yassssss so excited!
I remember when y’all had a broken server because you suddenly got hit with a ton of traffic because your pitching gifs were suddenly being posted because no one else had that.
Pitcher List is a national treasure. Thank you.
*oh yeah, @pitchergifs, that’s right, that’s where I got hooked.
Shane Ryan’s pitchcraft articles in Grantlant (rip) are what turned me on to all this. Thought you’d like to know.
Ha! That was such an honor to be a part of back in 2014.
Thanks being on the journey with us :)
