If you like this, you may want to also take a look at Retrosheet [1]. They've taken amazing effort to get pitch-by-pitch data for baseball games since professional baseball became a thing in the 19th century. I don't know a ton about RetroSheet admittedly, but I do know they have great coverage and are willing to pay money to get paper documents from people about games they haven't yet entered into their database.

- tnecniv 3y agoBaseball has a load of resources like this! Besides FanGraphs and Baseball-Reference (both offer some historical data download ability but have more advanced stats you’ll have to scrape yourself), the MLB offers an API to get pitch-by-pitch data on stuff like release point, ball launch angle, ball spin axis, etc. There’s also plenty more info on baseball-savant that is scrapeable.
