Abstract
A system and method for predicting next pitch are disclosed herein. A computing system retrieves pitch-by-pitch information for a plurality of events and game context information associated with each pitch in the pitch-by-pitch information. The computing system converts the pitch-by-pitch information and the game context information into a plurality of graph-based representation. A graph neural network learns to generate a pitch type prediction for each pitch based on the plurality of graph-based representations. The computing system generates a trained graph neural network based on the learning. The computing system receives a current graph-based representation of current pitch-by-pitch information for a current pitcher and current game context information. The computing system predicts, via the trained graph neural network, a pitch type for the next pitch to be delivered from the current pitcher.
