Fielder hit chart
So the Sheets pitch stuff went over pretty well how about some stuff on the guys who hit the ball. Here is the location of every hit recorded by pitchFX that Prince Fielder has hit. I have color coded the m to make it easier to see. Again for his strike zone I am averaging the top and bottom from all of his plate appearances. Because pitchFX has some issues going from park to park you should not take these locations as set in stone. I will be normalizing them later, hopefully by the weekend. Sadly, pitchFX was only on for ten of Fielder's league leading 39 homers. Because Fielder is a lefty he is standing around +2 horizontally. Most lefties' happy zone is on balls down and in but Fielder seems to like to get his arms extended and seems to be better middle out than middle in. When you pitch him on the outside corner he still seems to get to that ball but not hit them with as much power as the others.
I'm going to post at least one plot for a player every day for the next five days at least. Please let me know who you would like to see plots on in the comments below. One entry per person per day please and I will post them in the order they were received. If the player doesn't have very many ABs or pitches that were tracked I reserve the right to skip that player.

I think Ryan Braun almost has to be on the list, right?
