I’ve begun compiling injury data for 2010 and will keep the file updated every 2 weeks or so. It has a similar format to the 02-09 database. I will also be adding a separate day to day database for this year as well, mainly in an attempt to track the development of injuries. This file [...]
Between Peter and TMI, you have all the motivation you need for an Insider subscription.

No time now, but Peter posts pages from the MLB Redbook, kind of my personal Dead Sea Scrolls. Very excited. He even lays out a number of subjects in need of study because, he claims, no one in MLB will undertake [...]
I’ve compiled a list of pitch types by pitcher by using Sven Jenkin’s amazing site 60ft6in.com.
The database is referenced by mlbID for easy pitchFX analysis and research. Particularly useful for folks doing classification using K-means analysis, each pitcher has a field showing the number of pitches in his repertoire. Sven’s pitch types are also included [...]
2010 injury updates are live. Injuries/suspensions will appear as “Negative” notes in red.
They are updated nightly, and are current as of tonight.
Enjoy!
Will Lingo, EIC of Baseball America has graciously agreed to allow me to publish scouting blurbs from past Prospect Guides in the player pages. It can be very valuable to look back on how some MLB players who’ve yet to realize their potential were viewed by scouts when they were prospects. These will accompany ProjectProspect [...]
I’m pleased to make available for download a tool I created to extract MLB and MILB data and insert it into a mysql database for analysis. Nothing particularly groundbreaking here, but it does make the process of selecting and acquiring baseball data much easier, especially for Mac saberists.
Background:
In 2006 Joseph Adler was the first to [...]
So this is interesting.
I’ve become increasingly aware of the split between fantasy analysts and pure sabermetricians since I began actively developing and marketing Rotobase to the public. I haven’t personally had any negative experiences with either camp, indeed my experience so far has been universally positive, but I have noted that there is a definite [...]
Just a note that I’ve only the L/R splits for pitchers to finish, and then pitcher pages will go live.
I’m happy to report that Adam Foster of the tremendous Project Prospect will be generously providing scouting information for young MLB players in Rotobase under a new Scouting heading.
Of all the sources of prospect evaluation, Project Prospect is my favorite. Their new Digital Prospect Guide contains not only player blurbs, minor league batted ball splits, [...]
Just added a couple more Notes to the player pages.
If a player has had 3 seasons of 500 AB or more, it will be noted under positives. This recognizes that staying healthy is a skill, and the player deserves some credit.
If a player has an increasing or decreasing Line Drive trend that is now noted [...]
