This post is just a compilation of graphs initially inspired by this one

According to my very basic (and not very rigorous) calculations, here is the leaderboard for teams with the greatest and least average distance between their typical pitcher release point and the team average release point (which I am referring to as within-team release point variation).

n is the number of unique pitchers for that team in the data

The following will be each team’s release point variation chart in descending order of within team release point variance (the order above).

NOTE:

Player names are highlighted if their average release point is outside of these boxes, which I drew arbitrarily:
