BASES is a python application with a website front-end interface. The website was developed with the python web framework Bottle.

Run Website:

• First open up app.py and locate at the end of the file, the port number and debug option

• For production, turn debug to false (debug = false)

• The port number is anything to specify (i.e. 8888)

• Run the website by typing the command below into the command prompt

    python app.py
  

• Navigate to your webbrowser and enter http://localhost:8888/

The BASES project was developed by a group of summer research students and professors at Monmouth University during the university's annual School of Science Summer Research Program.

This program intends to accurately simulate a baseball game from first pitch to last. The simulation will be based on real data obtained from the 2014 MLB season. The simulation will model a game pitch-by-pitch and use batting and pitching statistics as well as fielding statistics to best predict the outcome of a game.

Major Features/Goals:

• Store relevant statistics of a single Major League Baseball Season in comma-separated values (CSV) files
• Simulate the interaction between a batter and a pitcher
• Simulate the actions of players on the field
• Simulate the interaction between the home and away teams
• Analyze the outcome of a simulated game based on the data provided
• Allow the user to choose any two Major League Baseball teams to simulate a game
• Provide a user interface with a scoreboard which updates throughout the game

The BASES project was developed using these following tools and frameworks

• Google Drive

• Github

• Python Repo

• Java Skeleton Prototype Repo

• Python 2.7.x

• Java 1.7

• Bottle: Python Web Framework 0.12

• Javascript, jQuery, HTML, and CSS

• Bootstrap CSS Framework
