  • Right-on-right (ROO) matchups
  • Platoon advantage quantified
  • Reverse splits analysis

  • Platoon-specific pitch usage
  • Bullpen construction for matchups

Platoon splits and handedness analysis will be added...

Code Examples

Calculate True Shooting %

Calculate True Shooting Percentage - measures overall shooting efficiency

def calculate_true_shooting(points, fga, fta):
    """Calculate True Shooting Percentage
    Formula: TS% = PTS / (2 * (FGA + 0.44 * FTA))
    """
    tsa = 2 * (fga + 0.44 * fta)
    if tsa == 0:
        return 0
    return round((points / tsa) * 100, 1)

# Example: Player with 25 PPG, 18 FGA, 8 FTA
ts = calculate_true_shooting(25, 18, 8)
print(f"TS%: {ts}%")  # Elite: >60%, Good: 55-60%
