How to use

1. Set up conda environment

• create environment from .yml file: conda env create -f environment.yml
• additonally install pybaseball package into that environment: pip install pybaseball
  • (couldn't get pipenv to play nicely with juypter on the PC I used for this + wasn't worth untangling for this quick project)

2. (optional, if you want to refresh list of knuckleballers): run notebooks in notebooks/helpers/* in order

   • otherwise the default list is already saved in data/input

3. run notebooks/knuckleball_trend.ipynb notebook and view result
