Georgia Tech Football: Advanced Stats Week - Pass Plotting

I want to introduce the FTRS community to a simple example of some of this data viz. Using this application, I plotted all of Jeff Sims’s non-garbage time throws during the 2020 season. My fingers are tired, but we’ve got a nice way to visualize the patterns of GT’s 2020 passing attack.

Note the map legend: the light red dots are completions, the pale green dots are incompletions, the bright green dots are drops, and the purple dots are interceptions.
