I would like to see cummulative opponent stats. Is there any way to do this? Specifically, I would like to see the Hit Location Chart for our opponents to see where they are hitting the ball against us.

On the admin website you can access cumulative hit charts for all teams on your device.

I like the idea of a hitting chart vs. each of our pitchers. I think the individual lines will quickly become meaningless due to the quantity of batters each game (one pitcher might throw 5 games in a weekend x 20 weekends), but if there were a way to "shade" the areas on the field sort of like a radar map does with snow/rain/ice, where for example green is a lightly hit to area while red might be the location hit to most often.

This is definitely getting into analytics which FTM has made pretty clear is beyond the scope of the app. Would need to look at EdgeHQ or TruMedia add-ons to see if they offer this.

Maybe. Maybe not. They already have the scatter chart data in place. This would just be a "reverse angle" looking at it from the defensive point-of-view instead of the offensive.
If you have three data tables [Batters, Pitchers, Hit Data] and you tie Batters and Hit Data together with a serial #-type field, you could tie Pitchers-Hit Data together with a serial #-type field as well.
My thought about color-coding areas of intensity was simply because there would be so much more data for a pitcher (30-ish at-bats per game as opposed to 3-4) that the number of lines would be overwhelming.
I see this as a wish for a "cool new feature" rather than an "oh, my gosh, I HAVE to have this to function" feature.
