Ballpark Figures is a passion project that attempts to make baseball statistics and sabermetrics more accessible through thoughtful and interactive data visualization. A lifelong New York Mets fan and David Stearns antagonist, I started this project to quantify just how bad the 2026 Mets are and quickly realized that this work is the combination of my favorite things: neat plots, baseball, and interactive journalism.
I hope you enjoy the work and website. Shoutout fangraphs.com, my goal here is not to compete with them (in fact, I love you guys so much) but merely extend the elaborate spreadsheets and tables they so amazingly produce into a more visual experience. Another shoutout to the devs at baseballsavant.mlb.com and all the amazing people who bring all the stats to the game like pitchfx devs, who have made the Statcast data so accessible and easy to use. I hope this project can be a bridge between the two.
