SportsIllustrated.com is currently running a feature on the great Albert Pujols. I was lucky enough to have my PitchZone charts included. You can find the article and all the PitchZone goodness here:

Awesome, David. Congratulations.
Thanks Dave! :)
Good stuff. I could look at those graphs all day. I am sort of surprised there isn’t more difference between players and their “red zones”. To me, what jumps out is how much the better players punish balls over the plate than the Claytons and Womacks do.
Great! Some time ago I gave some suggestion about the color used, but this time you have found a perfect combination!
Have you ever tried year-to-year comparison of hot zones for a player?
