How to Read This
Zone Size Factor
Measures how wide or tight an umpire's strike zone is relative to league average (1.000). Above 1.03 means a wider zone that favors pitchers and boosts strikeouts. Below 0.97 means a tighter zone that favors hitters and increases walks.
NRFI Rate
Percentage of this umpire's games where neither team scores in the first inning. Higher rates suggest a zone that suppresses early offense. League average is roughly 55%.
K Factor
Strikeout rate in this umpire's games vs league average. Above 1.0 means more Ks per game than normal, relevant for strikeout prop bets.
Sample Size
Umpire profiles require at least 10 sampled games to appear. Profiles strengthen as more data accumulates throughout the season.
