Don't know if you're interested Pete but I found this article: http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/ar...ionate-umpire/

that may interest you about strike zone interpretation using pitch/fx data. It shows that umpires have a 50% larger zone on 3-0 than on 0-2. It made me think about how umpires really do affect games.

I really enjoyed it. It's long and detailed but it gives some great analysis.
