Mookie Betts hasn’t had the kind of year we’re used to from him, setting career low marks in wRC+ (104), wOBA (.318), & SLG (.406).

He might be on the back half of his HOF career, but I believe he can recapture some of what's made him so good at the plate with a few tweaks.

@CMazzza @E_Mart97 Haha, love this! Definitely better than my first attempt

[Carter Kessinger @ckessinger44]

@choice_fielder Congrats on the new job!

[Carter Kessinger @ckessinger44]

@_holmj_ @Johnny_Davis12 Try checking from the decision point (about .12 sec after release) and commit point (about .167 from home according to Statcast). That way you can account for pitches traveling at different speeds

[Carter Kessinger @ckessinger44]

@_andrewparks Absolutely! 👊

@tony_baseball_ I do not currently (my code is very messy😂) but DM me and I can walk you through what I did

I'm so excited to present my very first Shiny app!

This app is a 3D pitch trajectory visualizer built using plotly and contains data from 2021-2024. I'd love any comments on ways you think it might be improved. Have fun exploring!

[Carter Kessinger @ckessinger44]

@ReinselRyan I appreciate it! I’ll definitely be sure to reach out for future builds

[Carter Kessinger @ckessinger44]

First MAJOR update! Here are the new features:

Full 2024 season now included

Updated batter viewpoints

Location-neutral trajectories: now you can see how trajectories compare if all pitches were thrown down the middle

Check it out!

@bymichaelrosen Check out guys like Ryan Yarbrough, Josh Hader, and Alex Wood too. All guys who reverse seam-shift their sinkers. Really weird that all of those guys are low slot LHPs.
