A blog for interesting (and sometimes useful) baseball data science.
Welcome to the Data Dugout.
This site is a collection of projects exploring the beautiful weirdness of baseball.
Why baseball? Because no other sport has stayed so stubbornly the same for so long and obsessively logged every game, event, and statistic during that time. We have a ton of data at our fingertips thanks to publicly available sources like retrosheet.org. Think of this site as part portfolio, part blog, with each post representing a statistical deep dive into one aspect of America's favorite pastime. Whether you're a fellow baseball nerd like me or just someone who appreciates stories and data, I hope you find something interesting here.
