edge_code: *Edge Code*

In BillPetti/baseballr: Acquiring and Analyzing Baseball Data

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.
