Many years ago Bill James often talked about players in terms of their batting average as a percent of their offense. This concept proved useful in an era when batting averages were known, but OBP and Slugging were tougher to find.

I sometimes return to this concept as a way of visualizing the offense of a hitter. Using the Wolfram Language, I was able to plot a few players in terms of ovals. I’d like to know your opinion, and if anyone has experience with the Wolfram language, I’d also like to pick your brain.
