The Chone and Marcel projections for 2008 can now be found at Baseball Graphs in sortable format. The good folks at Many Eyes are “passionate about the potential of data visualization”. I took the Chone data for 2008 and applied their data visualization interfaces.
For the pitching projections, I applied the Scatter Plot : “ Point one variable across the x-axis, the other up the y-axis. The size of a dot can represent a third variable. The classic scatterplot gives you a bird’s eye view of how your factors relate to each other.”
For the batting projections, I applied the Block Histogram : “ This versatile chart lets you get a quick sense of how a single set of data is distributed. Each item in the data is an individually identifiable block.“
Tape Measure Blasts :
