Summer 2019 @Statcast Data Analytics Intern | Villanova '20 | Opinions are my own ⚾️

[Kristen Austin @Kristen__Austin]

@JasonBernard_ Happy work anniversary to Mr. Statcast himself! Thanks for all you do for the game (and for me) ☺️

[Kristen Austin @Kristen__Austin]

@tangotiger @Dallas2Blake Thanks, Tom! Hopefully the write-up answers your questions by shedding some more light on how those criteria are chosen and updated. 🙂

[Kristen Austin @Kristen__Austin]

@tangotiger That was awesome!! Thanks for improving my social distancing experience :)

[Sarah Langs @SlangsOnSports]

This is a really great opportunity to work with a suuuuper smart and talented team (that has infinite patience, take it from someone who asks a lot of questions).

@Kristen__Austin did a great job in the role this summer and I am so bummed I didn’t get to know her better!!

[Kristen Austin @Kristen__Austin]

@SlangsOnSports One of my few regrets from this past summer is not getting to know you better! You’re an inspiration, Sarah, and thank you for your kind words :)

[Tangotiger 🍁 @tangotiger]

For all y'all who have been asking me, this is the posting. We've had fantastic success with @JulPrusac @TessKolp @Kristen__Austin (and Jason also started as an intern, and he's integral to our team).

Such a cool outcome of the post-jump catch probability model!!

[Tangotiger 🍁 @tangotiger]

#Statcast Outs Above Average - OnJump v PostJump

We can break up the Catch Probability in segments. Here, we split into two segments: on the jump (first 3 seconds) and post-jump (everything after).

Kiermaier, who has the best jump in MLB, also gets the most outs as a result.

[Kristen Austin @Kristen__Austin]

you know me too well, Mark... 😊

[Mark Weinstein @markandnumbers]

@tangotiger @Kristen__Austin obvious that you helped create this when the graph has JBJ circled

[Kristen Austin @Kristen__Austin]

@choice_fielder I don’t, I’m sorry!

[Jason Bernard @JasonBernard_]

Surprisingly, the most typical half inning in 2019 is 3 ground ball outs in a row. There have been 413 half innings this season that saw this occur., Most recently, the bottom of the 5th of yesterday's Jays-Ms game.

@DiPirro77 @JasonBernard_ Thank you so much Phil! I hope you enjoy it, and feel free to reach out with any questions :)

[Kristen Austin @Kristen__Austin]

@SlangsOnSports Thanks so much, Sarah!!! I’m so inspired and motivated by incredible women in baseball like yourself 🤗

[Sarah Langs @SlangsOnSports]

Hey look, a woman doing awesome stuff in baseball!

Good.

More, please.

[Kristen Austin @Kristen__Austin]

@JasonBernard_ Aw thanks Jason!! You’re the reason for a lot of that development - I’ll miss ya and our baseball chats tons #coolboss

[Jason Bernard @JasonBernard_]

The final thought of the last week is to @Kristen__Austin for the hard work and growth she's shown this summer AND presenting at Saberseminar. I'm super proud of the development you've shown as the #statcast intern tree continues to impress and impact the game!

[Kristen Austin @Kristen__Austin]

@choice_fielder Thank you! And I tried to make it clear that this is just a study of do they abandon vs. should they abandon, but I’m sure you’re right 😂

[Kristen Austin @Kristen__Austin]

I had a great weekend at #SaberSeminar, and learned so much from the baseball analytics community! Check out my presentation on modeling catch probability three seconds into a play: https://t.co/GR2TcQcIOC

@KBrownianMotion Thank you so much - it was such a fun project to work on!
