On Monday, Corinne and I said goodbye to our favorite wire fox terrier and best friend, Lilly. Before taking her to the vet, we carried her on one last walk to the ocean and back. In the final picture we took with her, she had a big smile on her face.

Taking inspiration from @saberpowers, I am now logging #SportsDataJobs in a publicly shared google sheet. It's not as pretty as his website, but it gets the job done!

Between the two, we should be capturing most of the current opportunities.

Yesterday, Baseball Savant released pitcher arm angle on a pitch-by-pitch basis!

You can download these data using the updated download_baseballsavant() function in the new v1.0.4 release of the sabRmetrics R package.

The Statcast Team has done it again!

You can now get pitch-by-pitch arm angle from the Savant CSVs

PyBaseball and/or BaseballR will likely need an update to download this data

I've been remiss not to mention this more often, but @URAM_Analytics does a great job of highlighting jobs using the #SportsDataJobs, and a lot of the jobs listed on my website are there because I saw them posted by @URAM_Analytics. Super follow for sport analytics jobs.
