Spray Angle of HR, by park
Chris goes through Greg's data, to show us what angle HR are hit, by LHH and RHH, and by park. I definitely love the effort, and that Greg's data is being used.
(I will have no further comment to provide on his research.)

I'll continue to repeat that 0 degrees should be up-the-middle (dead-center / 2B bag), with the 3B foul-line at -45 and 1B foul-line at +45. The main reason is that it makes it incredibly easy to "flip" the sign, to put both RHH and LHH on the same scale. It's easy enough to say that the corner outfielders play at -30 and +30 degrees, rather than to consult a chart. It's also consistent with the center of home plate having the "x" position of 0, and the launch angle of 0 means parallel to the ground.
