I have identified a few patterns, and I am pretty excited with the advances I have made over the past week. However, I realized this project could take many weeks or months to complete and I wanted to push an update sooner than that. So, I have put the 2D solution onto xStats and pushed the update to the stats spreadsheet. This 2D solution is not groundbreaking work in terms of Statcast research, but it is a significant improvement over the classification system that was previously published on xStats.
