It's a great site when you need to buy this sort of thing. However, given how lauded it is for functional usability, I noticed I need to rage click the back button in order to get to the site I came from after clicking one of their links.
It’s a wonderful resource but they neglect the pagetitle element which is set to “McMaster-Carr” on every page. Links opened in tabs/windows all get the same title and bookmark titles need to be manually edited to be useful.
Why do developers of otherwise great websites neglect page titles?
You didn’t say why, but I’m guessing for dataviz inspiration. Baseball specific, but check out a player stats page on fangraphs.com
Baseballsavant is another excellent example.
Both are targeted towards laypeople. In fact, most baseball fans are not data savvy (or even data friendly!) so these are targeted at an audience that needs things spoon fed and look for any reason to hate something.
The fun part about that mlb site is that all of the data used to generate those pages is freely available to download [1] and use for whatever non-commercial uses you can think of. If you come up with something interesting, you can submit and present at one of the many conferences that happen (example: [2]) and are attended by the data science folks at the various mlb teams, who love chatting with people about baseball stats.
The ecosystem is extremely open especially compared to other pro sports leagues like, say, the Premier League.
I created this data dashboard with Observable Framework[1] and Rust-Script[2] so I can check-in daily to better understand the data collected during Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)[3] sessions.

I reach for it several times per week. Never struggle finding what I want, nor getting it into the shape I want it.
