On my way to lunch today (Friday) I caught a bit of Bernie’s radio show to include his stat of the day segment. This particular stat was about Matt Holliday’s ability to hit the inside fastball. The basic gist was that Holliday is doing just fine on the inside fastball (albeit Bernie used BA as his stat of choice). I thought it might be interesting to dig a little deeper using pitch F/X data. I decided to take the plate in horizontal slices and calculate Holliday’s wOBA when he makes contact with pitches in the various slices. The following chart is the result.
