Abstract In sports, Play Diagrams are the standard way to represent and convey information. They are widely used by coaches, managers, journalists and fans in general. There are situations where diagrams may be hard to understand, for example, when several actions are packed in a certain region of the field or there are just too many actions to be transformed in a clear depiction of the play. The representation of how actions develop through time, in particular, may be hardly achieved on such diagrams. The time, and the relationship among the actions of the players through time, is critical on the depiction of complex plays. In this context, we present a study on how player actions may be clearly depicted on 2D diagrams. The study is focused on Baseball plays, a sport where diagrams are heavily used to summarize the actions of the players. We propose a new and simple approach to represent spatiotemporal information in the form of a timeline. We designed our visualization with a requirement driven approach, conducting interviews and fulfilling the needs of baseball experts and expert-fans.

  • Molina's Success Long in Making
    Molina’s success long in making 11 HOURS AGO • BY DERRICK GOOLD DGOOLD@POST-DISPATCH.COM 314-340-8285 CINCINNATI • When Yadier Molina still was a teenager, his father, Benjamin, placed him on an amateur team in Puerto Rico that pitted his youngest son against men 10 years older and 10 years more mature and forced him to find a way to make sure they weren’t also 10 years better. The team was the Hatillo Tigres. Benjamin had another predator in mind. “I threw him with the lions,” he would say. That was the explanation that Benjamin gave Bengie and Jose Molina, the older brothers, when they asked their dad why young Yadier was urged to play in one of Puerto Rico’s top men’s amateur leagues before even being eligible for the major-league draft. “Oh, I’m going to throw him with the lions and make him grow up,” Bengie Molina recalled his father saying. “And he did. Yadi did. That’s why I think he’s good. He had to be a veteran at a young age. When he came over here it was nothing. I think that’s what started it, at least. You have to grow up quick in that league. That’s the way I saw it. That was the first step to where he is now.” Where he is now is the MVP-caliber catcher and compass for the team with the best record in baseball. The Cardinals often go where Molina points them. If it’s not shepherding a rookie-infused rotation to the lowest ERA in the National League, it’s providing as the leading hitter, often in the middle of the lineup.
