pyball

Library for grabbing baseball statistics in Python, designed for use in Jupyter Notebooks.

Why pyball

Another python library for getting baseball statistics already exists (pybaseball), however, pyball just provides barebones functions for retriving stats from Baseball-Reference, and Baseball Savant.

To-do

• Would like to make a base class of shared functions (_get_soup(), _find_table(), ...) but I kinda hate how python classes work.
