Baseball Simulator is a Python command-line program that simulates a complete baseball game. Game demo: https://youtu.be/YLm9Nl_hyu4 The user is prompted to choose any two MLB teams, and the year for each team. The program then scrapes player data from baseball-reference.com. The program attempts to be as accurate as possible to real-world outcomes. Data from the following sources was used to refine the algorithms that determine results: https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/bat.shtml https://www.baseball-fever.com/forum/general-baseball/statistics-analysis-sabermetrics/81427-pitch-outcome-distribution-over-25-years https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article/8936/prospectus-idol-entry-grounding-home-run-hitters/ For each at-bat, the program takes into account the batter's batting average, the pitcher's earned run average, and the pitcher's pitch count to determine whether the batter or pitcher has an edge, and how big of an edge. A player with an edge over the other will be more likely to have a positive result for each pitch, and that likelihood increases with larger edge percentages. At the end of each game, the program will output a box score, and give the user the option to save the box score to a .txt file.
