    This tool displays strike zone heatmaps pivoted across up to two dimensions. Select Pitching or Batting, filter by date, handedness, count, and/or pitch type, and then pivot the resulting selection on up to two axes. There are many options for which variable will be displayed. Our favorites:

    • Pitch%: Frequency of each location
    • Swing%: Swing frequency at each location
    • Contact%: Contact rate on swings at each location
    • RAA/100P: Runs added above or below average per 100 pitches to each location
    • CStrike%: Called strike frequency at each location
    • SLG/BIP, ISO/BIP: Slugging percentage and isolated power on balls in play at each location
