Yeah, this has been a pretty wild season for many reasons. This video sums it up very nicely.
Iโm sure more insanity is to come.
Tweetball
Hello, peeps.
So the Metsโ season officially ended yesterday. SADNESS!
As Iโve mentioned, Twitter is basically my baseball info hub, and most of my liked Tweets are baseball-related (the rest are math/stats-related, walking-related, or PRIMO MEME CONTENT).
So as a little tribute to the end of the regular season, I present the Metsโ 2019 season in Tweet form! Enjoy.

Heights
Heyooooo so I was looking for some new data to update one of my STAT 213 note sets and I decided to use the on-record heights for 500 baseball players. Weโre learning about types of graphs (boxplots, histograms, etc.) and ways of describing the shape of graphs (symmetric, skewed, etc.) so I thought hey, letโs plot these heights and see what we get.

UHHHH, have you ever seen such a perfect bell-curve shape for actual data?
But hereโs where itโs interesting to also look at not only the numeric summary but other plots as well. The boxplot actually shows two outliers (two players at 80 inches tall).

So thatโs interesting as well.
Anyway. Just thought this was a super pretty distribution and I have no life so I wanted to share this with yโall.
