The FIRST win of the 2021 College Football season belongs to Illinois Football 🙌

I-L-L!

Cool to see the LiDAR tech I worked with at MLB as an intern fully integrated into production for home run validation!

Great resource to get started in hockey analytics, with data that can be easily visualized with sportyR

Actually am working on turning this into a Python package, like the Python version of my @sportyR package in R… stay tuned 👀

Almost my turn at #UCSAS2021! Workshop topic: an intro to hockey analytics with R. I’ll be showcasing various data manipulation functions from the tidyverse, plus the hockeyR and sportyR packages from @danmorse_ and Ross Drucker! Slides & code are here: meghan.rbind.io/talk/ucsas/

NINE. OVERTIMES. Illinois upsets No. 7 Penn State on the road!

Great work from Dom here, and a great display of the ease of sportyR as well!

Loved taking this class last semester; can’t take credit for the comment but would agree that Dirk Eddelbuettel is a fantastic professor!

🚨sportyR v2.0.0 is now live on CRAN and on GitHub! A lot has changed since the last CRAN release (and the last GitHub release too!), and there are some breaking changes to be aware of. Let's take a look. 🧵 #rstats 1/10

Excited to release my first Python package! Introducing sportypy: a package to plot sports playing surfaces for #sportsanalytics visuals, and a sportyR equivalent in Python. New features already in the works!

With all these shot locations, you'll definitely want to check out Ross Drucker's {sportyR} and {sportypy} packages to make some shot charts. For the basketball courts in particular, the possibilities in customization are endless!
