Instructions

In order to have a working copy of the code in the book, download the zip file of this repository and extract the content of the zip file in a folder of your convenience.

• The data folder contains datasets used in the book, except those downloadable from websites, and those that are too large to store on GitHub (e.g., the full season Statcast files). In order to get the missing datasets, read the readme.txt files stored inside the lahman, sqldumps and wizardry subfolders of the data folder.
• The scripts folder contains standalone R scripts that were referenced in the text.
• The chapter_code folder contains all of the code that was written to generate each chapter. (e.g., the result of running knitr::purl() on each of the chapter source files.)
