Those "2 seamers" are in fact his change-ups....if Mejia throws a seperate 2-seamer, it looks more like his 4-seam fastball than his change up, and i don't think he does. @NateW, the MLBAM algorithm used to classify the pitches is wrong a good deal of the time.

The V and H break seem to be too similar for them to actually be different pitches imo. If they are he should scrap one because they do the same thing... The best part of the info, imo, is the pitch speed chart which shows him mixing fastball-change, fastball-curve, as well as doubling up on all of his pitches at least once. That's a ton of good variety for 3 IP. Are the 2 seamer and the changeup really the same pitch? The V and H break seem to be too similar for them to actually be different pitches imo.
