pitches

Every four-seam and cutting fastball thrown by Mariano
Rivera and Phil Hughes during the 2011 season.

With pitchRx, one can easily obtain Major League Baseball Advanced
    Media's Gameday data (as well as store it in a remote database). The
    Gameday website hosts a wealth of data in XML format, but perhaps most
    interesting is PITCHf/x. Among other things, PITCHf/x data can be used to
    recreate a baseball's flight path from a pitcher's hand to home plate. With
    pitchRx, one can easily create animations and interactive 3D scatterplots
    of the baseball's flight path. PITCHf/x data is also commonly used to
    generate a static plot of baseball locations at the moment they cross home
    plate. These plots, sometimes called strike-zone plots, can also refer to a
    plot of event probabilities over the same region. pitchRx provides an easy
    and robust way to generate strike-zone plots using the ggplot2 package.
