Scatter Chart

A scatter chart shows the relationship between two stats. In the example below we have lead distance on stolen base attempts on the horizontal x-axis and total stolen bases on the vertical y-axis.

The Cincinnati Reds stand out in the top right. They took the largest leads and had the most stolen bases in the league. At the top in the middle of the chart are the Cardinals and Blue Jays, who took aggressive leads but have about half as many stolen bases.

At the bottom are the Tigers,Yankees and Rangers, whose average lead on a stolen base attempt was the shortest in the league. At the left of the chart is San Francisco, with the fewest steals.
