Chris Gilligan

Hi, I'm Chris Gilligan.


I'm a data journalist working on all sorts of projects, most of which will hang out here. You can find me at gilliganch@gmail.com or @gilliganchris.

I'm currently writing regularly for U.S. News & World Report and FanGraphs. For some U.S. News highlights, take a look at my pieces on the United States' lagging vaccine program and Daylight Saving Time. On FanGraphs, I've covered the regular season losing some of its intensity, Xander Bogaerts' free agent market, and much more.


Check out my other work!

My data projects can be sorted into two categories:

- On disparity in baseball - On mobility in MLB and the NBA - On spin rates and sticky stuff - On intentional walks
- On the 2022 Pennsylvania Senate primaries - On women of color mayors - On early-pandemic rent in Boston


The projects included above use a range of data cleaning, analysis, and visualization tools, including Python, HTML/CSS/JavaScript, web scraping, d3, DataWrapper, Flourish, and more.
