    Swing Design focus w/ @Sfarni_4: - Turn the barrel deeper in the zone - Hold proper posture Offset Open paired w/ oppo angle flips to slot the barrel and get on plane early❗️ Short bat: helped him hold posture Bazooka bat: helped him turn the barrel and not push his hands

    Recently dove into coding with @BentleY__ThomaS. Using Python we set out to create a heat map for our hitters @kzoobaseball. In this case we utilize Whiff% that will allows us to see the zones our hitters swing and miss most in.
    Heat map containing sample data of a hitter's whiff% by zone. Allows for a more visual breakdown of a hitter's weak points by swing and misses per zone.
    Partial block of code from the script using GoogleColab. Code includes a link to a google sheet where the heat map data is pulled from. Code was written with help from ChatGPT.
    Another partial block of code with sample data. The array is the data pulled from the google sheet which represents the whiff% by zone. Code was written with help of ChatGPT.
    Template on google sheets including sample data of whiff percentage by zone. This is the data that GoogleColab pulls to create heat map.

    Throughout the winter and season we gather a lot of data @kzoobaseball. To make this data digestible for each hitter, we make Post Live AB reports. With the help of @bacraig8 we can efficiently make these reports, inform each player, and look to quickly improve.
