My spare time isn’t what it used to be…NOAA keeps me busy. But I finally do have the new MLB pbp files parsed enough to run all the split data I need. So all of the player, league, and team should be back to having those breakdowns. Not a fan of MLB’s chosen format, although … Read more

The “DTs by league” pages are not updating right now, because I can’t get the play-by-play data I use to build them from MLB. Trying to figure out what’s gone wrong in my connections. The EQA report is mostly fine – except for splits data which, once again, requires the PBP files.

Major League Baseball’s decision to reclassify some of the Negro Leagues  as “major league” changes that.  The Negro American League – … Read more

The title says it all. They are under “DTs by League“.

First things first – I now have the way too soon, already out of date, Team Projections for 2021 up and available.

Welcome to anyone who might be checking in on me for the first time. Or for the first time in a long time. Either way is good for me. As you can plainly see, I don’t write that often. At heart, I am a number-cruncher, not a wordsmith, and this site is about the numbers … Read more

Japanese stats are for 2019 are up, Central League and Pacific. The difficulty rating for the leagues are between the values for our AA and AAA leagues – perhaps a little closer to AA, but definitely in between. Parks in the JPL tend to be pretty neutral overall.
