I like this feature! I'm just now getting into spray charts and I thought I would use this thread for a few questions, perhaps (after doing some due diligence with search and not finding much information).

First question: The acronyms (GO, FO, etc.) are obvious and I know what EV is. I also know that the batted ball locations adhere to the Retrosheet diagram. But in this diagram, for this home run, what does "BS2" mean?

Second question: I notice that spray charts are "wiped" at the end of each season. The one that you are looking at here is for spring training; will it reset for the regular season or will it include spring training for the rest of the year?
