Data is only useful if you can understand it. Visualization makes it visible.

Shot charts show where players shoot and how well they convert. One image replaces a page of numbers.

Heat maps show where the action happens. They reveal tendencies at a glance.

Spray charts show where balls land. In baseball, they tell you a hitter's tendencies.

The best visualizations tell a story without words. The trend, the outlier, the pattern.

Color and size encode value. A good chart guides the eye to what matters.

Bad charts mislead. Misleading axes and distorted scales deceive.

Good data viz makes sports analysis accessible to everyone.
