Launch Metrics in a Baseball Series

[axkent]

Hi all, I wanted to share my work so far on a Closeread article. There is an abundance of baseball data available and I thought Closeread was an excellent tool to help share an engaging summary of a baseball series. The article includes a few .html files retrieved from a Shiny app I made, which allow users to select an observation (a ball hit in play) and see the video from the play on Baseball Savant's website.

I plan to ask https://github.com/qmd-lab/closeread/issues for suggestions on image panning, as it's a little clunkier than I'd like.
