fetch_statcast: Fetch MLB statcast data.

In devin-AK/statcastr: Fetching and analysis of Major League Baseball (MLB) statcast data from Baseball Savant.

Fetch MLB statcast data.

Description

This function queries Baseball Savant for statcast data on dates specified by dates and returns an R object with the results.

Usage

fetch_statcast(dates, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

dates	The dates from which to retrieve statcast data
verbose	TRUE or FALSE: Whether or not to report messages.

Details

The dates argument is intended to be as flexible as possible. A single date of the form yyyy-mm-dd may be used: fetch_statcast("2017-03-20"). To retrieve statcast data for an entire season, specify the year: fetch_statcast(2017). To select a range of dates, use the separator " to " as follows: fetch_statcast("2017 April 12 to 2017 April 20"). To select specific dates, combine them in a character vector: fetch_statcast(c('2017 Apr 12','2018 April 12')). All of these modes can be used in conjunction, as long as year is listed first (then month, then day) within each individual date.

Value

A statcast data.table

Examples

fetch_statcast("2017 April 12")
fetch_statcast("2019 Sept 4 to 2020")
