Rob Friedman, known as PitchingNinja, explores the evolution of pitching in his book *Unhittable*, highlighting how technology and analytics have transformed the game. He discusses the rise of pitchers like Nolan McLean and Paul Skenes, emphasizing the importance of velocity and pitch variety. Friedman argues that while pitchers have an advantage today, there is ongoing debate about the balance between analytics and traditional methods in baseball. He asserts that impact can come from outside the sport, as seen with figures like Trevor Bauer and Nolan Ryan, who both challenged conventional training practices.
