What Does It Take To Be A Major League Baseball Player?

I don’t know if a lot of you are aware but it is very, very difficult to be a Major League Baseball Player. In most professional sports, there are few steps: you play in college, you get drafted, and if you prove good enough you get to play professional football, hockey or basketball. This is not the case in Major League Baseball. If you are 100% the best player in college, if there has never been anyone like you to play the game at the rare age of 18 or 21 you are still placed in a brutal minor league system that can completely control your soul. Let’s take a look at a trailer for the film “A Player to be Named Later” for more information.

I asked this question to give you a better idea of why I love this sport so much: it’s not just a sport it’s a story that grows and changes every single year and never gets boring. There are truly millions of examples of this but let’s stick with one that happened this past year. For those who don’t know, pitchers rarely get the chance to hit. A typical batter will get upwards of 600 – 700 opportunities to get a hit and a pitcher may get like…50 at most. Michael Lorenzon, a pitcher for the Reds this year – got five. Five opportunities to just get a hit. On around August 12th, Michael Lorenzon’s father – whom he was very close with – passed away. After returning from a bereavement list, Lorenzon was put into the game for his team.

This is why I love baseball.

As is true with all things you love, you want to know more about it and maybe try to instill some of that information in others.

When I started learning coding awhile ago, I was a bit terrified because I was in an unfamiliar place. However, when I started using baseball statistics in coding, the experience of discomfort lessened. Coding became secondary, a byproduct of needing to learn how to make baseball more accessible. I started with a simple baseball game:

When I made this, I was super excited. I had finally made a baseball game! Very strange to look back on it now. The evolution of the game is entirely thanks to the introduction of JSON files. They gave me the opportunity to take real baseball data – of which there is an abundance – and apply it to my work. I’ll never forget being late to a bar that night because I was so excited to make this:

After I had fun with this, I decided why not mix the two, which led me to my final. How cool would it be if I could take real data and use it to show the difference in a pitchers arsenal. I’ve seen plenty of videos and .gif’s but something about visualizing the data got me really excited. Luckily, I found two amazing partners – and fellow baseball fans – in Katie Takacs and Grant Henry and after countless hours we made what can only best be shown in a local host.
