Here's day 1 (Points).
#Phillies Citizens Bank Park LIDAR point data. 3.5 million data points.
Day 2 of the #30DayMapChallenge (Lines)... An animation breaking down where players that played in 2020 were born color coded by team and going to their home stadium.
Day 3 of #30DayMapChallenge (Polygons)... Here's a Voronoi diagram using #MLB stadium distances to create team boundaries. Pretty cool results.
Day 4 of #30DayMapChallenge (Hexagons)... Here's a hexbin breakdown of where all 140,000 MLB/MiLB players were born all time.
Day 5 of #30DayMapChallenge (Color Blue)... Breaking down where hits happen at each #MLB stadium since 2019. The higher the bump the more hits.

Day 10 of the #30DayMapChallenge (Grid). The #Padres had the highest Outs Above Average of any team at +16. Here's a grid breakdown of their OAA
