Where do pitchers pitch to Pujols?

By Tangotiger

I like these “differential” graphs, because it saves me the trouble of comparing to the league average (though as noted later in the article, it would be better to match on the count). Chart is from the catcher/batter/ump perspective. Pujols gets more pitches (red) low and away, and less pitches (blue) up. No surprise of course.
