Michael Westbay has been blogging about Pro Yakyu since before the word "blog" entered the vernacular. Here he writes about Pro Yakyu in general, and the Yokohama BayStars in particular.
The Pro Yakyu Report Vol. 1.09 - Visualizing Velocities Part I
0 replies.
I make a big break from covering Pro Yakyu news this week.
Instead, I start a tutorial/project that creates visualizations of velocity charts that do not conform to the "norms." It is an exploration of the d3.js JavaScript library. If you create web pages, have some skills with JavaScript, and have always wanted to turn tables into graphs and charts, this might be of interest. If you're looking for Pro Yakyu news, this and the next few may not be for you - check back in a month.
I do hope that what I'm starting with this series gets picked up by other baseball bloggers, so you'll perhaps come across the results in the near future.
Feedback about what you'd like to see me cover is always welcome. The Pro Yakyu Community on Google+ or Bayside West: Yokohama blog on JapaneseBaseball.com are the best places to provide that feedback. I look forward to hearing from you.
