Electronic Zone Evaluation data.

[rbmartin]

I was watching an MLB game last night and the HP's strike zone really had me scratching my head (way too tight IMO). I am usually the most sympathetic person in the world when it comes to umpires since I do it at a high school level and I know it's difficult. At MLB level I'm sure it's exponentially harder.
My question is, is the data from MLB's Electronic Zone Evaluation system accessable the the general public or do they keep that under wraps for internal use only?
I would sometimes like to view data from certain games to see if my biased perception during a game matches reality.

Search the date and game.

Correct or incorrect balls/strikes aren't always determined by the rectangle boxes though. The vertical bounds of the strike zone are determined by each batter's stance on the first pitch of an at-bat, so the zone is determined by a numerical value and not the line of that box. It still give you a decent idea though.

What game was it?

Thank you. This data seems to show HP was pretty good after all. Very useful.

Just a question...did you need the data to conclude that the MLB umpires are good?

Yes, as does MLB.

w/o the electronic evaluation you wouldn't know that the MLB umpires are good?

I guess I would argue that the electronic evaluations might be the proof of the inference.

Without electronic evaluations we had Eric Gregg.
