MLB-grade pitch analysis

Grade every pitch.

Upload your Trackman data and get a comprehensive report with official Tstuff+ grades, intuitive graphs, helpful trends, and the raw data you need to advance your game. For amateur players, we do not rely on a traditional MLB Stuff model alone. We first grade the shape of each pitch, then blend that shape grade with velocity to produce the official Tstuff+ you see in the report.

We made that change because standard MLB Stuff models do not transfer cleanly to amateur pitchers. Our shape-first, velocity-blended approach has held up better for amateur evaluation while still staying anchored to MLB performance baselines.

Project yourself to the next level.

Our projection engine re-scores every pitch to show you what your game would look like with a faster average velocity, and even a taller height—all based on the spin and movement profile of each pitch. This engine lets you see where you are and where you need to get to—all in one report.

How the Projection Engine Works

Height Projection

Release point scales proportionally to projected adult height. A taller body changes the release point, and in doing so changes the pitch’s metrics. We account for that.

Velocity Projection

Set a projection (or just a new target) for your average fastball velocity. Effective speed of your secondary pitches is recalculated, and new grades are made in comparison to Major League performance baselines.

Movement Projection

Increasing velocity affects your spin rate, vertical break, and horizontal break. We scale every measurement to give better projections. A slower pitch moves more because it has more time before it arrives at the plate. This doesn’t make it better! Our model accounts for that and ensures your projected grades do too.

How It Works

From Trackman data to shape-first pitch grades, advanced analysis, and visual reports, in minutes.

Step 1

Upload

Drop your Trackman CSV or upload a report image or PDF. Data validation and parsing are handled automatically.

Step 2

Grade

We grade pitch shape first, then blend shape with velocity to produce the official Tstuff+ grade shown in every report.

Step 3

Improve

With actionable insights, MLB pitcher comps, and high-priority improvement zones, you’ll have everything you need to work into your current development plan, or even create a new one from the ground up.

Pitch Grades & Session Types

Tstuff+ in Stockyard Reports is built for amateur players: we grade the pitch's shape, then blend in velocity for the official Tstuff+ grade.

Bullpen and game uploads both use the same official Tstuff+ grading path, while game files still unlock the richer pitch-by-pitch report context.

Bullpen Session — Tstuff+Game Session — Tstuff+

In Every Report

Every report has MLB-level pitch grades, raw numbers, visual graphs, player comparisons, session summaries, and high-priority improvement zones for you—all tailored for your immediate understanding, and improvement on the field.

Understanding the Grades

Every report gives you an official Tstuff+ grade built from shape first, then velocity.

Tstuff+

Our official Tstuff+ starts with a grade for pitch shape, then blends in velocity. We use this shape-first approach because traditional MLB Stuff models do not transfer cleanly to amateur pitchers.

Built on Real Data

Our methodology is published on our website, and our reports use MLB data as the reference point without pretending amateur inputs behave exactly like pro ones. That is why our official Tstuff+ starts with pitch shape and then blends in velocity. Explore the deeper methodology write-up at StockyardBaseball.com.

How Tstuff+ Is Built In Reports

Traditional MLB Stuff models did not hold up well enough on amateur Trackman inputs. Our reports now follow a shape-first flow that performed better for amateur evaluation.

1. Grade Pitch Shape

We first score the underlying shape of the pitch: movement, spin characteristics, release traits, and the physical profile that makes the pitch play.

2. Blend In Velocity

Velocity is then blended into that shape grade to produce the official Tstuff+ shown in the report, instead of letting a straight MLB Stuff model dominate the result.

3. Produce One Official Tstuff+

That same shape-first pipeline is the official grade throughout the site, so bullpen and game uploads stay on one consistent Tstuff+ scale.

Projection Methodology

When you provide a projected height and target fastball velocity, we scale every pitch using empirically validated relationships from 7.7M+ MLB pitches. Here’s exactly how it works.

Height Scaling

Release point and extension scale proportionally to projected height, using fractions validated against 3,747 MLB pitcher-seasons.

Release Height0.68× height ratio
Extension0.79× height ratio

Velocity Cascade

When velocity changes, spin rate, vertical acceleration, and horizontal acceleration adjust based on empirical year-over-year slopes from 2,427 consecutive-season MLB pitcher pairs (2020–2025).

Vert. Accel (az)+0.52 ft/s²/mph
Horiz. Accel (ax)−0.14 ft/s²/mph

Movement Recomputation

After adjusting accelerations, induced vertical break and horizontal break are recomputed from physics (pfx = ½at²) at the new flight time. Spin axis and pitch design are preserved.

The result is a full re-grade of every pitch at the projected physical profile, using the same Tstuff+ model that evaluates MLB pitchers.
