Something else I always wonder about since we are on the subject of odd stats, is something that is commonly brought up on MLB broadcasts, mainly FOX, withing many of thier dumb graphics. What always gets me are stats like a hitters batting average on "balls low and away", or batting average "on balls inside" (yes I am looking at you FOX hot/cold chart). How exactly do they calculate a players batting average on olny pitches in a particular location? Great stuff, thanks.
