pitchRx: Tools for Harnessing MLBAM Gameday Data and Visualizing PITCHf/x
With pitchRx, one can easily obtain Major League Baseball Advanced
Media's Gameday data (as well as store it in a remote database). The
Gameday website hosts a wealth of data in XML format, but perhaps most
interesting is PITCHf/x. Among other things, PITCHf/x data can be used to
recreate a baseball's flight path from a pitcher's hand to home plate. With
pitchRx, one can easily create animations and interactive 3D scatterplots
of the baseball's flight path. PITCHf/x data is also commonly used to
generate a static plot of baseball locations at the moment they cross home
plate. These plots, sometimes called strike-zone plots, can also refer to a
plot of event probabilities over the same region. pitchRx provides an easy
and robust way to generate strike-zone plots using the ggplot2 package.
