Spray charts

Game is looking good, but I can't find the player spray chart...Thanks

It's an option on the hitter's page in the Hitting Stats tab.

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?

By the way, elsewhere Matt linked to the diagram at Retrosheet but this one that I found awhile back is easier to read and a bit more comprehensive:

BS2 is an indicator for HR locations. Can fix that up to use the "W L" indicators instead

Spring training charts get wiped for the regular season, so once the season hits you'll only see regular season+playoff data.

I'm in love with the spray charts. I can look at them all day. The color coding makes them so easy to read. I have one hitter with tendencies clear as day. If he pulls the ball it's most likely a ground out, if he goes the other way it's most likely a hit. I hope my hitting coach is advising him accordingly
