Show HN: Speed, trajectory, type, and game context of every MLB pitch in 2014 (statwing.com)

OP here. Notes:

. Wasn't quite sure if this fit Show HN's guidelines[1]. Yes, it's something we built that people can try out (both getting the dataset together, which took a lot of work, and Statwing itself). But no, it's not a fundamentally new product (i.e., Statwing isn't new). Open to feedback on whether this counts as a Show HN.

. A few uninteresting technical notes about the dataset: http://blog.statwing.com/every-mlb-pitch-thrown-in-2014/

. Here I am, so I'd love to answer questions, take feedback, etc.

I think it's ok. We want Show HN to be for distinct pieces of work that people can try out, rather than feature releases, and I don't see why this doesn't qualify. Our intention is not to be rigid.
