Sports Analytics Data Challenge

The 2025 Connecticut Sports Analytics Symposium (CSAS) Data Challenge is open for registration. Participants will focus on using new data on bat speed and swing length to analyze some aspects of the pitcher/batter interaction in Major League Baseball. We provide pitch-level data from Baseball Savant for 346,250 Major League Baseball plate appearances from 4/2/2024 to 6/30/2024, including relevant Statcast data along with bat speed and swing length on pitches with a swing tracked. Data from the second half of the season will be added after the conclusion of the regular season. Your analysis should involve bat speed and swing length to study any topic related to the batter, pitcher, or batter-pitcher interaction during an at bat.

Finalists will be invited to present at the 2025 CSAS on April 11-12, 2025. Winning teams will have the opportunity to showcase their team’s work to data scientists in the baseball industry.

Register for the data challenge by December 1, 2024.
