David Wright’s swing zones
Just beautiful:
The colors indicate run values, so closer to red the better, and the contours show Wright’s swing tendencies. He swings at 75% of pitches within the smaller circle, and 50% within the larger one, in other words.


I find comparing pitches that we know Wright is not swinging at (the red around the edges)to the pitches he might swing less valuable than say comparing from his 10th or 25th percentile swing rate and up.
Doing this should allow the high value swing zone be red as opposed to the neutral green.
