This is awesome. Former Iowa Hawkeye and this is exactly what I want to get more involved in.

Hi Jake/Sam- Current MS in Business Analytics student at Iowa here... I was wondering which program you guys prefer for coding, R or Python. And if I just want to practice with data, where is one of the best places to start in terms of pulling data from? Great video by the way

Hi Brett. I prefer to code in R but will soon start using Python more frequently. It's tough to get your hands on college baseball without working for a team, but if you were looking for MLB data, Baseball Savant's Statcast Search query is the place to go. For more information, I've written about this on the Simple Sabermetrics blog!

Came to respond to this but Sam already did! Don’t have much to add, but here’s a link to that post Sam was referring to: www.simplesabermetrics.com/post/statcast-data-manipulation-in-r
