statistical help

[klaiggeb]

During a game is there a website I can go to where I can get exit velocity and HR distance?

[pachyderm]

I've no idea but I am curious why people seem to fixate on this now...


And what about that Amazon thingy... AWS ?

[klaiggeb]

People do fix it on it but i'm just curious

[pachyderm]

Yeah it would interesting to see if there is a site or an app other than AWS.

They have a "Free Tier" on their AWS site. No idea how to use it for what we want to know.

You can custome make your leaderboard for exit velocity, home run distance, barrels, etc. I really have not used it much to be honest but based on the way Zaidi does things, he probably relies on this information a lot.

Thanks, Reed!

I'll take a look.

All I want is velocity and distance.

During the game when Soler hit that bomb... they NEVER gave distance until the next day..
Not acceptable.

The baseballsavant website seems to be cumulative, not game by game so it is not easy to use. Definitely no in game information. I don't use it too much because it seems like a sortable sreadsheet that one can cherrypick to get a desired result.

I can barely access it, Reed on both Fire Fox and Edge.

It will NOT allow me to pull up players by team.

I can select the team, but once I have it, and click on it...nada.

It’s not easy to use. The best thing I think is to google which stats you want and the baseball savant comes up with desired sorting.

[klaiggeb]

But it won't let me get that far, Reed.

It simply will not let me in after selecting the Giants.

The program sort of freezes.

This is what I came up with but I can't get the columns to match up.

Thanks for trying, Reed
