Defensive Charts
Blogging was light today as I've been working on creating charts for each player/position/batted ball type to give you a good visual the Probabilistic Model of Range. Here's a sample of a chart (click on the chart for a full size version):

Over the next couple of days I should have these set up where you pick a player's name and position and see all the charts for that position.
Cool. Even better if you put the statistical uncertainty error bars on the graphs - perhaps just on the delta for simplicity and since that's where the interesting information is.
Those are pretty sweet! Awesome work, as always.
Great, David.
Is there any possibility of 3 year charts? For some reason, I find it possible to get at the 2004 data on your site, but not the 2005 data. I am probably missing something.
In any event, the 3 year data is, of course, less subject to random variance of ball within zone and speed of batted ball.
I had been wondering the same thing as Mike, if it was possible to combine the three years similar to the Fielding Bible.
Of course, I have no idea how much work goes into that...
