## Introduction

TODO: Introduce the proposed project, providing a concise summary of the project goals, its key elements, offering the reader a quick understanding of the research's scope. The section continues to outline the main topics, research questions, hypotheses, and /or theories in a clear and meaningful language to provide a type of roadmap for the reader to navigate the forthcoming details of the project. This section also needs to motivate the project by providing context for the study, outlining the current state of knowledge in the field, and highlighting any gaps or limitations in existing research. The section serves as a foundational guide that enables the reader to grasp the context of the study, in addition to its structure, before moving into a more technically-based discussion in the following sections of the article. In short, the "Introduction" section needs to answer the `what` and `why` questions, that is `what is the project?` and `why is the project important?`

The project, Swing Efficieny %, is a tool that helps analyze the statistics of all qualified batters and what percent of the swings they took were truly efficient swings. In baseball, having the perfect swing is almost impossible to have consistenly as it is tough from a physics standpoint. When looking at hitters in Major League Baseball, they have almost great swings and with analytic and metric tracking today, we are able to see what a hitter does on a regular. When we take a look at statistics, we see all these numbers that are very deeply thought out but a lot of the statistics do not use facts based around metric results. That is where the tool comes in to play. The tool creates the merging factor between given metrics and statistics. It helps as well display who is a valuable hitter and how valuable they are and can be. The person with the more efficient swing should be brought to light and there are more ideas of what can be valued in trading and signing players in the off season.

When we take a look at statistics, we see all these numbers that are very deeply thought out but a lot of the statistics do not use facts based around matric results. That is where the tool comes into play. The tool creates the merging factor between given metrics and statistics. It helps as well display who is a valuable hitter and how valuable they are and can be. The person with the more efficient swing should be brought to light and there are more ideas of what can be valued in trading and signing players in the off season. A tool of this type should be valued in the world of baseball to know more for what you can get out of a hitter. This adds another level of importance of what needs to be done when scouting baseball. Most statistics now are very valuable tools and a big part of a hitter to be scouted is consistency. This tool displays the consistency that a player has with his swing being perfect. When seeing other statistics that are used in baseball today, we see a trend of statistics becoming more intertwined with metrics. Metrics are all shown for how the player moves, how the ball goes off his bat. Merging statistics with metrics in baseball can give a better look into what general managers want in a player and using a tool like this can really drive value for players that are being traded. Managers in baseball can also benefit from using this by having the knowledge of who is statistically gonna have the swing to do damage in the line up. Many players can show results of growth and how they are producing in many ways but we can be given a tool that can help in ways that can be a big factor for the game of baseball.
