Okay, so I’ve been meaning to dig into some baseball stats, and today was the day! I wanted to compare the player stats from the Red Sox and Yankees game.
Getting Started
First, I needed to figure out where to get the data. It took me a bit of searching around.
Finding the Data
Once I selected the game,I focused on extracting player statistics.
Data Extraction Fun
I decided to keep it simple and focus on a few key stats:
- Player Name– Obviously, gotta know who we’re talking about!
- At Bats (AB)– How many times they came up to the plate.
- Hits (H)– How many times they got a hit.
- Runs Batted In (RBI)– How many runs they scored for the team.
I meticulously went through the box score, player by player, for both teams, and noted down their AB, H, and RBI. It was a bit tedious, yeah, but I wanted to get a good feel for the numbers.
Putting it Together
After I had gathered all the stats, I put it into the note. Nothing fancy, just a way to see the data clearly. I had a list of player names for both Red Sox and Yankees with stats.
Observations
After compiling it all, it became clear that both teams has a big difference. It’s really interesting to see the individual contributions in one table.
That’s it, that’s my little data adventure for today! It’s simple stuff, but it’s fun to dive into the numbers sometimes. I might try a more complex analysis next time, but for now, I’m happy with what I learned.
