I’m starting to take on sports data analytics as a hobby and Ohtani pretty much inspired me to take it on. Here is my first attempt looking at his Swing and Miss Percentage.

  1. I knew I wanted to explore how he’s able to come back from Tommy John Surgery (in 2019). From my knowledge, TJ can be pretty serious so to see this massive improvement from 2020 to Present is fascinating.

    I’m hoping people can tell me if this comeback has been done before at this kind of level after surgery.

  2. Not bad. Definitely a lot of questions and other factors to explore based on this information alone. Baseball is actually the reason I decided to major in Statistics and get into analytics! Great to see you and others getting into it too!
