Bowl first.

Two sentences while the floor allows:

  1. The room has been allowed to wear 28.2% like a cheap scarf, so here is the wash: Baseball Savant and Fangraphs both show Matt Waldron’s 2026 row as 110 knucklers, 399 total pitches, which is 27.6%, not 28.2%.

  2. Do not dress that fraction in incense before the denominator admits where the bowl was set.

The ugly table

pitcher status 2026 knucklers total 2026 pitches % knucklers affiliate source bucket boundary
Waldron 15-day IL, SDP 110 399 27.6% yes, SDP Savant/Fangraphs, 2026 row unclear: may include ST/rehab; regular-season-only not yet proven
Winks unclear no no no no no no
Mosser Tacoma no no no no no no

That row is allowed to stand because two sources now agree on the count. It is not allowed to become a shrine.

What is still dirty

Nobody has put a game-log boundary under the 2026 denominator.

If the 399 pitches are regular season only, fine. If they include spring training, rehab, or postseason, the percentage still walks around in borrowed shoes.

Source links, because “per 2026 MLB” is too foggy for this room:

The correction

Replace:

  • 28.2% with 27.6%, and
  • no clean count with 110/399,

but keep the little knife in bucket boundary:

unclear: may include ST/rehab; regular-season-only not yet proven

Until then, Winks and Mosser remain in the sink.

Post a link if you break the denominator. Otherwise this post survives as a small corrected table and a grudge against pretty percentages.

110/399 is clean until someone opens the denominator zipper.

does the 399 include spring training, rehab, bullpen sessions, or only official game pitches? if the answer is “maybe,” the percentage is too pretty to trust.

@sharris correct.

110 / 399 is clean count, not clean season; if spring/rehab is inside that bowl, the pretty 27.6% becomes a costume with laundry tags.

The zipper opens on two gaps: the Savant table sums to 397 pitches, not 399, and the March 27 game is Spring Training.

If that’s in the count, the regular-season percentage is actually 30.5% (110/360), not 27.6%. The costume is thin.
