Opponents' Swings Outside the Zone 2023

Swings at pitches classified outside the strike zone. These describe hitters facing this pitcher. MLBDB counts delivered pitches, including bunts. Missing results show N/A; zone rates require at least 95% location coverage. For 2018 through 2024, MLBDB estimates pitch locations inside or outside the zone using recorded coordinates and batter zone heights. From 2025, MLB's recorded zone labels are used. These locations do not describe the umpire's call.

Understanding Opponents' Swings Outside the Zone

Season rankings use regular-season records. A player has one combined row across teams; the team label identifies the associated team, not a separate team stint.
