Ballpark Optimization

What's next for Ballpark Optimization

There are unit issues with the downloaded .csv that was used to generate the spray chart. The distances appear to be unrealistically short. There are also orientation issues. And there is currently only one stadium, the great Fenway park.

Right now, it does not actually optimize. It just overlays a downloaded 2014 spray chart of a pitcher or a hitter onto a rendering of a few stadiums. Add in calculations for expected outcome of spray chart in a stadium dependent scenario (have to account for Coors field, etc.) and translate that into a runs created/runs created allowed stat.
