Baseball

This Ruby gem contains a pre-created library for factoring baseball statistics.

• Gem is still in development with more stats to be added.

• Note: This project is in no way taking credit for creating any of the included baseball stats. This is a library created strictly to be used in easily figuring the included statistics based on the data received by the user.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'baseball'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install baseball

Usage

All methods in Baseball take a hash as an argument. The hash should contain all the key-value pairs needed for the specific method called.

Example hash:

your_player_hash = {
  at_bats: 420,
  hits: 134,
  walks: 68,
  hbp: 1,
  sac_flies: 3,
  singles: 77,
  doubles: 27,
  triples: 1,
  hr: 29
}

Example uses:

Figuring Batting Average

Baseball.batting_average(your_player_hash)
# will return value of ".319"

Figure On Base Percentage

Baseball.obp(your_player_hash)
# will return value of ".413"

Figure Slugging Percentage

Baseball.slg(your_player_hash)
# will return a value of ".595"

Figure On Base Plus Slugging

Baseball.ops(your_player_hash)
# will return a value of "1.008"

All values are returned as a string

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
