Swing Zones

Cool post from ”mnbv” (*)

(*) Dude, c’mon.  How the heck am I supposed to remember that?  Ahhh, I just looked.  It’s on the keyboard, starting at M and moving to the left.  Cute.  You did a great post here, and it’d be cooler if we can link it to an identifier a bit more memorable.  Though, I suppose, it’s not that different from “MGL”.

I like these graphs because they are clear as to what they do.  They are not necessarily complete (called strikes not noted), but they are focused, and they paint the picture well enough.  I also like these particular ones, because it shows that Francoeur has a bigger strike zone to begin with.
