Pitch Location, Hit Location, and Field Position Requests
Posted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 1:35 pm
I have a few enhancement requests:
1 - Pitch Locations In-depth data
I love having the pitch spray chart at the bottom of the scorecard but it seems to be lacking data.
While it shows me where the pitch was located, I can't tell if the pitch was a ball or strike.
If a pitch shows as being in the strike zone, I can't tell if it was actually called a strike or a ball.
I guess I'd like to see colored pitch locations. So red might be a strike, blue might be a ball, green in play, etc.
Combine this with pitch-by-pitch data on a particular at bat and I think it could provide a lot of useful feedback to managers and players.
2 - Hit Location In-Depth Data
Remember the Ted Williams Hitting Chart?

This just seems like another valuable tool for players and managers. Stats for each zone would be nice, but I'd even settle on hot or cold spot. When watching games, I often see hitters miss pitches in certain locations. Being able to track this in a quantitative way would be great. Being able to tell players that they have problems with pitches high and outside gives players something to work on in BP. Plus it gives pitchers good data on hitters.
3 - Field Positions / Adjustments
Maybe I'm missing it, but I'd like to see an option to denote that the infield is playing in or that a shift is on for a particular batter.
Guess that's all for now. Thanks and keep up the good work. Excellent product.
