Show Notes
Statcast data reveals a surprising trend in MLB: pitchers like Kyle Hendricks, Aaron Nola, and Kevin Gausman have received numerous called strikes on pitches outside the zone. Meanwhile, players like Patrick Corbin and Mookie Betts have been affected by called strikes on pitches in the zone. Umpires personal zones vary, but starting this year, Statcast will use a new automated strike zone, and teams are preparing players for these changes. As the zone tightens, pitchers may need to adjust their strategies for fairer calls.
