Day 20: River Ryan Pitching Summary ⚾️ Sticking with the combination of multiple plots today. Below on the left we look at the spin and velocity of River Ryan's different pitches. On the right we see the location and outcome of hits recorded against him on Monday night #rstats

Day 21: Launch Angle and Speed Summary ⚾️ Today's figure shows all hits into play since the 2024 all star break (around 2900), their launch angle and velocity, and the outcome of the contact. I'm once again surprised by just how much these group together. #rstats #mlb #data

Day 22: Hit locations and outcome since the all star break ⚾️ Today's figure again shows all hits into play since the 2024 all star break (around 2900), their location and associated outcome. Really cool to see that band of purple where singles just drop in-between the fielders.

Day 23: Launch Angle & Location ⚾️ Today's figure again shows all hits into play in yesterday's games. It looks like anything with a very high launch angle tends to veer towards foul territory or the infield. 20-35 degrees seems to be the sweet spot for distance. #rstats

Day 24: Bat Speed vs Launch Speed Comparison ⚾️ It looks like MLB hitters are fairly consistent with their bat speed (surprise, surprise...) and that they swing right around the 70-80 mph mark. However, the launch speed seems to vary much more. #dataviz #rstats

Day 25: Markkanen 23/24 Scoring High FG HeatMap 🏀 Today's viz takes data from Lauri Markkanen 's highest scoring game from the 23/24 NBA regular season and shows his field goal attempt vs his field goals made heat map. Cool to see where the impact was made in this game.

Day 26: KD 23/24 Shooting Hotspots🏀 Today's viz takes data from Durant's 23/24 season shooting. Interesting to see just how many locations KD shoots from. However, it looks like you don't need to worry too much when he situates himself in the corner. #rstats

Yariel Rodriguez got pulled by the Bluejays during the first inning of Monday night's double header against the Orioles after hitting James McCann in the face with a 95mph pitch... Here's a summary of his pitch locations. Day 27: Yariel Rodriguez Pitching Hotspots v Baltimore⚾️

Day 28: Steph Curry Heat Maps 🏀 Today's plot, and the final plot of this challenge, shows heat maps for Curry's made and missed shot attempts for the 2023/24 NBA regular season. #RStats #DataViz #basketball

This doesn’t fill me with confidence for the Steelers’ season 😬😅

Classic BBC Sport athletics coverage at the #olympic… Spending my evening hearing the crowd roar in the background while I’m stuck listening to the pundits. The single biggest reason I find athletics impossible to watch despite having loved the sport for the last 15 years 🤦🏻‍♂️

First NFL game today, finally graduated from college ball. HUGE 59yd field goal from the titans! Cool to see ex-Steelers player Mason Rudolph playing though 👏🏻

Last weekend I was lucky enough to get married to my best friend and call her my wife!💍 What a beautiful way to end the summer and celebrate with both of our families in the Nevada desert!

A fun plot as the NBA preseason wraps up, here’s a quick look at Los Angeles Lakers' scoring spots as they get ready for the season. I'd be interested to see what these look like as the season progresses and we start to see player's dial in. #NBA #Lakers #Preseason #Analytics #SportsData
