There were 7 AAA hitters last year who met the following criteria:

- have not debuted
- younger than 24
- above average offensive output (accounting for level of pitching seen)
- >400 pitches seen

what's the current state of quantifying pitcher command? i tried to find out for @fangraphs.com

The latest portable Trackman uses radar and camera(s) to find both the trajectory and the 3D spin axis of a pitch. The latter is determined relative to the initial velocity direction. It is often useful to know the 3D spin axis in the global (x,y,z) coordinate system.
