We’ve added new PitchFx charts to our game charts. They’re pitch location charts vs right and left handed batters from the catcher’s point of view. These are modeled after much of Dave Allen’s work:

Deeply awesome, David. Very clear graphs. Question: why do the circle sizes change?

I had the same question as studes. More than one point on top of each other?

I’d also love to have this accessible for an entire season, rather than just game by game.

Great addition!

I just made the hit circles a little bit bigger because I didn’t think they were all that visible. In terms of more than one point being on top of each other, not sure what I can do about that. I think occasionally there will be pitches with very similar coordinates.

Entire season graphs are coming soon!
