Mike Fast of The Hardball Times wrote and article called ‘How will ball tracking analysis change the game?’. It is a great read for anyone interested in the Pitch F/X data. I suggest anyone who likes this kind of stuff, or even advanced stats at all read this article.
A great article looking at what the future could hold for Pitch F/X

Hey Doug, if you have time, can you throw together a look at Adam Dunn? According to Baseball Reference, he’s only swung at 33% of the pitches he’s seen. He’s usually up around 40%. Along with that, more than half the pitches he’s seen have been balls. It really looks like he’s being pitched around by those numbers, though he’s taken a higher number of strikes as well.
I’m interested to see if the pitches he’s swinging at are in the zone. I have a feeling that he’s not comfortable with the bat right now and that’s why he’s become even more passive. If you’ve got time, it’d be cool to see it in graphic form. Thanks!

Joel,
I was thinking of what to do for today, so that works fine. I will get it up later today when I get all of the data (have yet to download yesterdays game).
