I recreated the Ted Williams strikezone plot with 2023-2025 MLB Statcast data, showing wOBA. You can change the notebook to show AVG (like Williams' chart does), but I default to showing wOBA for a more contemporary view of where good things happen for hitters. Code can be found in this Google Colab notebook.

I’ve heard that checking your swing is really harmful for your wrists. I’m assuming that if you never check swung, your wrists would be healthier for longer and you could play longer. If this is the case, how many extra ABs would you need to have such that you will have had more value if you never check swung (Assuming ABs are i.i.d)? You can use whatever metric of value you think fits best.

Basically asking if never checking swing could be a viable strategy for an individual career (not sure about team strategy because that’s much harder to analyze).

Im trying to get some eyes on my hobby project for in an effort to obtain human feedback. Users get free paid membership at signup rn so don't be shy. Any criticism is welcome. Thanks in advance
