Experimenting With Clustering: Offense

This post originated out of me asking myself, "Self, if you were going to delve into the world of projecting offense, how would you go about it?" My answer was that I’d take a basic Marcels approach and add in some additional regression/weighting based on batted ball (plus a little extra) profiles. That approach would require me to bin players based on batted ball profiles, so I immediately thought of k-means clustering using R. The rest of this post is my brief exploration of batted ball profile clustering.
