Mets-Royals Team Comparison Dashboard

by
October 27, 2015

Building off of Eno’s comparison between the Mets and Royals, I built a quick dashboard that shows team offensive and pitching stats for all 30 teams, calling out the two World Series participants. This is just a visual representation of some of the most popular stats on our leaderboards. There are a few interesting extremes such as the three true outcomes (TTO), which Eno looked at yesterday, and batting average.

These plots are box plots without the boxes, so the location of the dot on the y-axis represents the team’s stat in that particular category. A dot’s size and color are just for call out purposes. They are also interactive so you can explore where other teams fall.

On to pitching. I’ve put the starting pitching next to the relievers so you are able to compare the different strengths of each team’s pitching corps. vFastball denotes the team’s average fastball velocity per PITCHf/x.

Would you be able to include the Mets offense after the all-star break? I believe that Eno had drawn a strong comparison between the Mets season overall and the Mets season following this period.

Oh, is the author taking Mets fan requests? Can you redo your entire article that’s already been posted and only include second half ops for most our hitters except granderson and duda. You can keep their whole season stats. And could you only count daniel murphy’s postseason into the batting average stat but you can use his yearly homerun total, heck you could actually include his ops. And can mets starters era be only for the cubs series please, figure looks a little high when you use the season total. Thanks.

Uugh, my bad? I just figured since this was a visualization of an Eno article, and that said article included a last 30 days category, it might be useful visual aid to include a post-break data point.

It’s actually a good question, and something I thought about. Building the splits in would have taken more time than I had to make it. I basically simplified Eno’s concept and looked at the most popular stats from our leaderboards.
