Inspiration
I was interested in stats, so I wanted to create a system related to that category. I thought it would be good to have something that many people can easily use.
What it does
By predicting future performances, help people find players with abilities that can’t be seen in other stat categories for things like Fantasy baseball and betting with various visualization methods.
How we built it
First, I created the formula of RCV and I coded to calculate the RCV of all MLB players. Then, I coded for the program to order the players in terms of RCV. (Top to bottom) I coded to make a chart for each Based on the data set, I created a histogram and a box plot to visualize the overall RCV data of the league. I also showed various pieces of information regarding the diagrams, such as the median and interquartile range.
Challenges we ran into
I had issues getting rid of pitchers from the data set.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Being able to successfully display the histogram and the boxplot.
What we learned
I learned that RCV doesn't exactly correlate with other overall stats like OPS, so it is an alternative method to find future performers.
What's next for RCV Visualizer
Automatically determine which players are the most valuable and which are the least valuable.
