MLB EDITORIAL INFOGRAPHICS
Making baseball information more digestable
ABOUT
I collaborated with editors, producers, statisticians, and staff reporters to translate history, rankings and trades into visual aids.
These graphics were published within digital articles or as stand-alone graphics for Major League Baseball's website, MLB.com. Graphics were also often used for social media, and occasionally for broadcast or print. I was also responsible for research, project management and sourcing of the graphics if I was not producing them myself. These graphics were developed from concept through to production, both independently and in teams, and successfully upped engagement in various capacities across MLB digital channels.
How They Were Built
I re-designed a chart used annually to depict how each of the players on the 25-man postseason Major League Baseball rosters arrived on the team. Moving from traditional pie chards to nested bar charts read more clearly to viewers and fit more cleanly across the website and social channels where the graphics get posted. On the main website, we were able to add an interactive component, where information about a highlight player of each team is exposed on rollover.
Skyscraper Graphics
These types of long, scrolling graphics often focused on a collection of stats. I created them for MLB.com blogs and articles, sometimes as stand-alone stories, or in conjunction with an editorial article.
Wild Card Horserace Daily Graphic
A series of graphics visually tracking the American League Wild Card standings with accompanying blog posts for one of Major League Baseball's editorial arms, Cut4. We tracked daily stats and output them as still images. We then stitched all of the daily stats together into a GIF celebrating the two teams that ultimately played in the American League Wild Card game, the Yankees and the Twins.
