baseballr Splits!

Hey Bill,

Just discovered this package, truly awesome stuff. Curious if there's any way (or if it's possible to add?) to query batter and pitcher splits vs righties and lefties?

Thanks!

Query what, exactly? Do you mean the FanGraphs' leaderboards or are you looking to restrict the Statcast queries up front by platoon splits?

Fangraphs leaderboards, if it's possible

Second this suggestion!

I am able to pull back data by position (33-40) and handedness (1 or 2) into an html `#C= 33 #1B= 34 #2B= 35 #3B= 36 #SS= 37 #LF= 38 #CF= 39 #RF= 40

Catchers vs. RHP

https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/splits-leaderboards? splitArr=33,2& splitArrPitch=& position=B& autoPt=false& splitTeams=false& statType=player& statgroup=2& startDate=2021-03-01& endDate=2021-11-01& players=& filter=& groupBy=season& sort=16,1

Catchers vs. LHP

https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/splits-leaderboards? splitArr=33,1& splitArrPitch=& position=B& autoPt=false& splitTeams=false& statType=player& statgroup=2& startDate=2021-03-01& endDate=2021-11-01& players=& filter=& groupBy=season& sort=16,1`

But I can't parse the html to get it into a df. Any help would be appreciated!!
