What to look for
Typical locations · Catcher’s perspective
Each oval summarizes central observed locations. Nested shading is illustrative, not measured density, exact coverage or a swing target. A single oval can blend separate concentrations. Fewer than five locations have no oval.

WalkBall at three balls
StrikeoutStrike at two strikes
Ball in play → End of at-bat at every count.
Fouls add a strike until two strikes, then keep the count. Caught foul tips and bunts have different rules.
Every legal count, its full sample size, pitch types in descending usage order, observed counts and percentages, and Ball/Strike destinations. Unavailable means no pitches at that count.

2026 regular-season reference
About this reference
Robert Gasser’s source-reported 2026 regular-season miss distributions across all teams. These do not follow the filters above and were not restricted to the report’s data-through date. Each curve uses its own observation count, including observations outside the view. Counts can differ across dimensions; the source does not explain why.
