Minor league batter who benefitted most from ABS Challenge, both in challenges made (flipping 11 calls, losing only 5 challenges) and in challenges against him (3 flipped, with 12 lost challenges for opponent)
Clearly, disagreement as to how top of this batter's zone is called

This minor league LHH challenged an enormous # of outside pitches, almost all to no avail
Itll be exciting to see how MLB batters are going to challenge (if even allowed to by their club)
If its me: only allow it for best batter on the team, or any on a potential K/BB flip. Otherwise, catcher-only

In 1971, Habs won Stanley Cup, backstopped by Rookie Goalie Ken Dryden, who played 6 games in regular season, followed by 20 in playoffs, playing every minute, and earning the Conn Smythe for playoff MVP.
The following season, he won rookie of the year

At pitches just inside strike zone, pitches are called strike 77% of time
At pitches just outside strike zone, pitches are called strike 14% of time
There is an especially noticeable difference when there's 0 or 2 strikes
Will be interesting to see it in an ABS-Challenge world

wOBA in 3-2 Counts
By Number of Prior Pitches Thrown
wOBA on 3-2, regardless of number of prior pitches, is .388 (thats first long dashed line)
wOBA on 3-2, when 11+ prior pitches is .402 (thats smaller dashed line)
So, there's a small advantage to the batter on longer PA

These are two unique strike zones, from same batter in same game
By rulebook, these are two different strike zones: 8 inch difference at top, 4 inch difference at bottom
In ABS world, one strike zone / batter / season

This is his charts... the blue cluster, currently CU, is going to be something else, either slider or sweeper
The yellow cluster, currently SL, will either stay as slider or become a cutter... this one is borderline

Yeah, we had it buried here since way back in 2017. We finally agreed to give it the prominence it deserves, and we spent alot of time making it look good. It's been something I've really looked forward to seeing
