1/ I took down the Power Alley Analytics website when I joined an MLB team. However, I have put a handful of articles that were on the website on to Google Drive so people can still read them, or take the analyses further: https://t.co/1uu5MLFU6A
3/ Caveat (cont.): Acknowledging that I was still learning then and still learning now, they are presented as originally written. If you choose to use the articles as a starting point for your own analysis, I would love to hear about it – you can DM here on Twitter.

2/ Caveat: The articles were written in 2017 and 2018. After two years working in player development, my thoughts have significantly evolved and I would likely improve, refine, or go in a different direction with the analyses.
@BeRock21 Create a new column in your player dataframe, and set it equal to the $cluster component of your kmeans output. Like this:
playerdata$newcolumn <- kmeansoutput$cluster
I've enjoyed working with coaches through Power Alley Analytics, but have to shutdown my consulting activities.
I'm excited to be joining an MLB organization in a new exciting role.
The @Rangers hired D-II Tarleton (Texas) State coach Bryan Conger to coach in their system. Conger had just spoken at ABCA about how he used technology at Tarleton State. He had some interesting ideas.

Good overview by @CoachHerg on the @ABCA1945 main stage, brought up using @rapsodo for pitch tunneling. Here is a case study walking coaches through a quick way to get started with tunneling:
This continues to be one of our most popular articles, but I need to reinforce an understated point - the method is just a starting point to determine pitch tunnels. A coach's eye and the @rapsodo can get you dialed in during subsequent bullpens.
