Craig Robinson - Baseball Blogger

A significant portion of engineering is about story telling.  We take arithmetic and science and turn them include compelling stories (hopefully).  Graphics play a critical part in our ability to tell effective stories and made interesting and insightful presentations.

Infograpahics is the link between the boring world of engineering numbers and ideas and the world of effective presentations and stories.  New computer software and techniques have allowed the world of infographics to grow exponentially.

Engineers need to look outside engineering for ideas on infographics.  Baseball is one of those areas where infographics is constantly evolving.  Craig Robinson, a baseball blogger, has come up with the most wacky and always engaging diagrams and infographics that I have seen.  He also has a new book out, Flip Flop Fly Ball.

Study how others can take activities that are dominated by numbers, such as baseball, and turn them into stories with creative approaches to infographics.
