On Fence Offense
?Statcast Intern Tess did her thesis on HR probability, and later expanded/adapted it to looking at the Zone Of Uncertainty, that area on the field where a batted ball could be a HR in at least one park. The result is a terrific and very accessible presentation (pdf) that was delivered at SaberSeminar. I can easily see creating metrics based on this, a count of each hitter's "HR in zone of uncertainty" compared to "nonHR in zone of uncertainty". In other words, the "warning track power" that is often discussed, but never really quantified. This could very well be the way.
