For those that don't know what PTLW are: they essentially tell you the quality of a particular pitcher's pitch in terms of runs, i.e. Zack Greinke's slider has been +5.9 runs better than the average slider and his fastball has been +14.5(!). For comparison, Livan Hernandez's fastball has been 8.3 runs worse than the average fastball. For more on PTLW, check out this THT article. I can't believe this site is still free to use. Amazing.
