Simi Bleznak (Math/AI), Max Brown (Math/Econ), and Julia Choi (Bio) spent ten weeks Exploring how visual, cognitive, and physical abilities relate to physical performance can provide insight into the development of athletes. Using two rich datasets provided by USA Baseball, the team used linear regression, logistic regression models, and longitudinal methods to deliver key insights to decision-makers. This project was a continuation of a Data+ project from last summer: https://bigdata.duke.edu/projects/predicting-baseball-players%E2%80%99-athletic-performance
