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 -

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 2.7.x
-
Java 1.7
-
Bottle: Python Web Framework 0.12
-
Javascript, jQuery, HTML, and CSS
-
Bootstrap CSS Framework
