There’s no denying it.”ADADAdams’s research also breaks down the information by individual player to see who had the most pitches tipped during their at-bats. Against the Washington Nationals on Aug. 23, Adams’s research highlights 16 at-bats featuring 29 tipped pitches in a 6-1 Houston win. The Astros hit two home runs in at-bats showing tipped pitches. Most of those tipped pitches (25 of 29) were curveballs and sliders, three were sinkers, and one was a change-up. Maybe posting this data, Adams said, would quiet some of the more outlandish claims while still holding Houston’s coaches and players accountable.
