Yeah, there’s nothing happening.
I’ll pose a question, though:
Let’s say you wanted to come up with a metric for “twerpiness” of a batter. What would you do?
- Number or percent of pitches in the “shadow” area fouled off?
- Number or percent of pitches in the “shadow” area fouled off, but only with two strikes?
- Rate of pitches in the “chase” zone not swung at?
Something else? I’m not really defining “twerp,” I’ll leave that up to you.
