Bar Chart for 2017 Baseball Hitting

This bar chart ranks 2017 MLB players by their hit-by-pitch rate, showing the percentage of at-bats ending in a hit by pitch for hitters with at least ten such events. Bar opacity encodes the player’s total at-bats relative to the dataset maximum, with darker bars indicating more playing time. Built with D3 v5, the visualization uses `scaleLinear` for the x-axis, `scaleBand` for the y-axis, and SVG rectangles for rendering, with data loaded via `d3.csv` from a GitHub gist. Axis labels and a title annotate the chart.

AI-generated description

What This Shows

This bar chart shows the percentages of at bats during the 2017 MLB season that ended in a hit by pitch

What Does it Mean?

Color

The intensity of the color indicates the amount of at bats played relative to their peers, maximum at bats for this dataset is 622, minimum for the selected hitters is 276 at bats.

Name

The name of the player followed by their team. For players with multiple teams, TOT is shown

X Axis

This shows the percentage of at bats in which the hitter was hit by a pitch

Who is interesting here?

Anthony Rizzo has a high number of at bats relative to his peers for his HBP percentage, indicating that he may be more of a target to hit due to stance or personality towards pitchers or a multitude of other reasons.

Tyler Flowers, this guy just gets hit way more than his peers, a full %, OUCH

The Chicago Cubs featured 3 players with over ten HBP's

Improving a Bar Chart for 2017 Baseball Hitting

This bar chart shows the percentage of at bats ending in a hit by pitch for 2017 MLB players with at least 10 HBPs. Bar color intensity encodes total at bats, with a legend mapping ordinal ranges from 276 to 622. D3 v5 with an SVG renderer uses `scaleLinear`, `scaleBand`, `axisLeft`, and `axisBottom` to construct the visualization, while a custom `colorLegend` function and `d3.interpolateOrRd` apply the chromatic scale. Data is loaded from a CSV using `d3.csv`.

Adding Interaction to My Bar Chart

This bar chart visualizes the percentage of at bats ending in a hit by pitch for 2017 MLB players with at least 10 HBPs, sorted from highest to lowest rate. Color intensity encodes each player’s total at bats relative to peers, with a legend showing the scale from 276 to 622 at bats. The chart uses D3 v5 with SVG rendering, employing `scaleLinear`, `scaleBand`, and `scaleOrdinal` for scales, `d3.interpolateOrRd` for the color ramp, and `d3.schemeOrRd` for the legend. Mouseover and mouseout events change bar fill and stroke, with a tooltip displaying raw HBP counts. Data comes from a GitHub gist CSV file.

D3 Scatter Plot - Baseball

This D3 scatter plot visualizes the relationship between pitches faced (PA) and hit-by-pitches (HBP) for MLB players from the 2017 Standard Hitting Dataset, aiming to identify players frequently hit despite limited at-bats. The SVG rendering uses d3.csv to load remote data, d3.scaleLinear for axes, and d3.axisLeft/axisBottom for ticks, with circle marks positioned by mapping PA and HBP values to pixel coordinates. The plot filters out players with fewer than 100 at-bats and covers the full browser window, using window.innerWidth and window.innerHeight for sizing.

D3 Scatter Plot Baseball With Brushing

This scatter plot visualizes the relationship between plate appearances and hit-by-pitches for 2017 MLB hitters, filtering out players with fewer than 100 at-bats. The SVG rendering uses d3.csv to load the dataset, d3.scaleLinear for both axes, and d3.axisLeft and d3.axisBottom for tick marks. Each player appears as a circle positioned by d3.extent-derived domains, with brushing implied by the title but not implemented in the visible code.

Baseball Scatter Plot, Hits and Homeruns, Iterated

This scatter plot visualizes the relationship between hits and home runs in baseball, with each dot representing a player-season. The chart displays data from three leagues—American, National, and Federal—distinguished by color and identified in a legend. Using D3.js (v6) with SVG rendering, the visualization loads a CSV dataset via `d3.csv`, then maps hits and home runs to linear scales with `scaleLinear`. Points are drawn as semi-transparent circles, and axes are generated using `axisLeft` and `axisBottom` to display the quantitative values.

Pitchers

Pitchers is a data-visualization explorer for baseball pitcher statistics, showing how individual performance metrics vary across a dataset. It displays a grid of small bar charts, one for each statistical category, and allows users to brush along one or more dimensions to filter the data. A table of matching pitchers updates in real time, presenting the filtered records in a plain-text format. The visualization is built with D3 v4, using `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.axisBottom`, and `d3.brushX` to create the interactive charts and brushes, with data scraped from Retrosheet.

Task_8_Activity_2_Question_2

A stacked bar chart displays 2022 home run percentages across MLB league divisions, with each bar divided into five color-coded team segments. The visualization uses d3.stack() to compute stacked series, d3.scaleBand for the y-axis categories, and d3.scaleLinear for the x-axis percentages. Interactive tooltips appear on hover, showing the specific team and percentage value. The SVG chart includes axis labels, a title, and a custom color scale applied via d3.scaleOrdinal, with data loaded from a local CSV file.

Baseball Scatter Plot Showing Hits and Homeruns

A scatter plot visualizes the relationship between hits and home runs for baseball players, with each dot colored by league affiliation: red for the American League and blue for the National League. The plot uses D3's `csv` loader to fetch data from a GitHub gist, `scaleLinear` for the axes, `extent` to set domains, and SVG circles with opacity for rendering. Axis labels are added via `axisLeft` and `axisBottom`, with custom text annotations for "Hits" and "Homeruns".
