Zones Of Scoring: Using Hit F/X To Find The Linear Weights For Vertical & Horizontal Angle For A Fair Ball

Using Hit F/X data, I created 10 degree vertical and horizontal zones and looked at the linear weight for each ball hit into those zones. The data is in a 90 degree horizontal range and an 180 degree vertical range. I used -45 degrees for the 3rd base line and 45 degrees for the 1st base line. To create Linear weights values I used the following linear weights for the complete retrosheet era.
