David Freese 2011 Hitting Spray at Busch Stadium
Enlarges.
Inspired by a request on twitter (h/t @aswb83) and Bill's heat map of David Freese and Nelson Cruz yesterday, this spray chart shows where* Freese hit the ball in 2011 within Busch Stadium. Looks like he likes the short porch.
*Hit location data is from katron; counting stats are from b-ref. Curved lines are for effect and do not show actual path of the ball, and ending location is based on where the ball is fielded, not necessarily where it landed.

very pretty
Here’s to the crazy ones. The rebels. The troublemakers. The ones who see things differently. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
He didn't pull any of his home runs at home
Woudn’t have thought that. He only pulled one all year. Granted he only had 10, but he’s a RHB.
Good stuff.

Already paid compliments on Twitter...
… but this is really great, Justin. I can’t remember watching a right-handed hitter so obsessed with taking pitches to opposite field. Thanks for taking the time to create the graphic.
