What is this site?
60ft6in.com has been dedicated to producing scouting reports on MLB and MiLB pitchers since 2008. Simply put, our reports tell you what pitchers throw, and how they use their repertoires. Rehashing ERAs and other numbers you can pick off a basic stat line is not for us. All information is gathered using video analysis only.
Who’s writing this stuff?
My name is Sven Jenkins, and I’m an independent baseball analyst from Poughkeepsie, NY. I currently do freelance work for STATS LLC, who I’ve been with since 2000, spending most of my time charting pitchers. I have done research for the St. Louis Cardinals and worked one season with Baseball Info Solutions in 2007. I have also spent many nights as an official scorer in the minor leagues and played NCAA D-III baseball at SUNY New Paltz. In the off-season I travel the world, having enjoyed over 1,100 days on the road through 40 different countries.

Is this website trustworthy?
Great question. If there was anything I learned from my college coach, it was “DTA, Don’t Trust Anyone”. But I’ll try to convince you the best way I can, through testimonials….
“Great website. I have bookmarked it. Great job! The repertoire is something that I often look for when watching a game with pitch fx.” – Sig Mejdal, Senior Quantitative Analyst, St. Louis Cardinals
“I love your website. It is a great resource! I do PITCH f/x research and am very interested in the subject of pitch classification, and I’ve been quite pleasantly surprised at how often you nail a pitcher’s repertoire exactly.” – Mike Fast, The Hardball Times, Sportvision
