I should have clarified this -- the virtual batter you see is not accurate. That virtual batter is the same for everybody, except he's on the right side for a right-handed hitter. The strike zone is not properly aligned with the virtual batter. The relationship between the strike zone and each pitch is accurate for each batter, it is just that virtual batter that's not accurate. It is a work in progress, and maybe the virtual batters will be better next year -- but they are just there for show.

I wish I could say more about the sizing of the strike zone, but I've signed a confidentiality agreement and that information is not something I can share.
