This Is Going To Be Awesome

The first screen shot from my new project:

Now, it's not much to look at right now, but the information that I have available to me is staggering. Imagine a sortable database that contains every pitch thrown in the last three years. That's where I'm going with this.

Here's hoping I don't get a call from MLB's lawyers.

Do you take requests?
Any chance of getting handedness of pitcher and batter? Monroe I knew, but I had to look up Bauer.

Also, can I win prizes, just be reading?

Re
Not a problem, I already have that info in the database, I just need to add it.

Gonna have to say no on the prizes, but I do promise a realistic, down to earth website, that's crawling with monsters and magic spells.

question:
Does this tool assume that any pitch the batter makes contact with was in the strike zone.  Does it assume that any pitch swung at was in the strike zone?  Or pitches that are called strikes but are actually off the plate?  In the example you show us, the three pitches off the plate are all called balls.  
Re
No. If the batter swung at a pitch, it is marked as a strike.

Possibly, but apparently not by typing
The Jerk Store called. . .
They're out of YOU!
neat
This is really awesome that you were able to find all this info.  Can't wait to see more.  Also: to 1958 - In the Gameday program, from what I've seen, I think it does show pitches hit that are outside the zone.  I could be totally wrong though.
