Edge Code
Description
This function allows you to classify individual pitches based on the various categories from the Edge% metric. The dataframe passed to the function must include the batter's handedness, the px and pz coordinates from the PITCHf/x system, and the batter's height.
Usage
edge_code(df, height_var_name = "b_height")
Arguments
df |
A dataframe that, at a minimum, includes the following columns: batter height (b_height), the batter's handedness (stand), vertical location of the pitch (pz), and then horizontal location of the pitch (pz) |
height_var_name |
The name of the variable in the data set that includes the batter's height. Defaults to b_height which assumes an height + inch format. If the variable name is "Height" it assumes the variable is already converted to inches (as is the case in some databases) |
Value
Returns a tibble with the additional edge columns necessary for calculations.
