Charting Pitches
David Appleman at The Hardball Times puts Baseball Info Solutions pitch charting to good use. He creates graphs telling us where balls are put into play for hits, and compares Albert Pujols' plate coverage to Corey Patterson. Let's hope he publishes these for every MLB player.
Update: It's interesting to note that batters have better luck on pitches above the strikezone than with pitches to the left or the right. That makes me think that the old strike zone was indeed the correct strike zone, and batters shouldn't complain about the high strike. It's a hittable pitch.

This is definitely awesome.
I would love to see Vladimir Guerrero's chart.
