This is interesting. I've watched the gameday (and the ESPN equivalent) on
the internet, and it's interesting to see the data stream.

I separated the pitches into three categories (three series): balls, called
strikes, and swings. The series are somewhat grouped together, but not in
any pattern I could discern. Nothing resembling a strike zone.

I'm not sure what the measurements are, either. X ranges from 59 to 122. If
those are inches, then it's 5 to 10 feet; if centimeters, then it's 2 to 4
feet, which might be reasonable. Y ranges from 90 to 175, which if that's
inches relates to 7.5 to 14.5 feet, or if it's cm it's 3 to 5.75 feet,
reasonable though the lower end is high.

I think you're going to have to do a bit of research. Go to Google or to the
GameDay blogs, or contact the writers at The Hardball Times, and see how
they translate these numbers into pitch locations. Good luck, it looks like
fun.
