Started playing around with more PITCHf/x data tonight…
View is from catcher’s perspective. Notice Ortiz’s hot zones middle in and middle up.
Stay tuned for how this develops.

It might be interesting to see the strike zone box adjusted for player height and hand. Heights from Wyers: RHH (0.92+(Height/12)*.136) and (2.60+(Height/12)*.136). For LHH (0.35 +(Height/12)*.229) and (2.00 + (Height/12)*.229).
Widths from Fast: RHH: -1.03 to 1 ft, LHH: -1.20 to 0.81 ft.

Re: SZ height. I used the mean of the sz top and sz bottom from all inputs from the PITCHf/x operator.
Re: SZ width. I used the plate width. I’m intrigued by Fast’s numbers. I’ll look into his methodology. Looks interesting.
