+ ## Why
10
+
11
+ This data is available through the pybaseball pacakge and the baseballr package, however it is time consuming to re scrape statcast pitch level data each time you want / need to re run your code. This dataset solves this issue using github actions to automatically update itself each week throughout the baseball season. Reading the dataset directly from the huggingface url is way faster than rescraping your data each time.
