Baseball Statistic Resource Gallery
All of my favorite websites/ resources in one place
BOOKMARK / SAVE THIS POST!!!!!
There are so many places to get baseball information on the internet nowadays. Whether it be for your own writing, for fantasy purposes, or just out of plain curiosity and knowledge seeking, there are countless websites and resources from bigger companies and independent creators to gather from.
I want this to be the headquarters for all the best resources, so if you have one that you know of that you’d be kind enough to share, do so in the comments and I will update it. I know a lot of really awesome creators on the web that deserve to be acknowledged, and it can be mutual benefit for those who are seeking out new information.
WEBSITES - Bigger Companies
Baseball Savant:
Statcast data, game footage, player pages, Statcast game logs, a million other things.
Fangraphs
Most useful for their information on prospects, and their depth charts under Roster Resource. You can easily look at neatly packaged stats for any team’s bullpen under the closer depth charts tab. The Fangraphs app is probably the fastest way to bring up handedness splits for hitters and pitchers.
PitcherList
I work for this company, but when I say it is the best pitching statistic website you’ll find, I clear that statement of any bias beforehand. You just have to go explore. It’s mind-blowing.
Baseball Reference
I like using Baseball Reference for easier observation of long term timeframes. It’s also helpful in my writing when I’m writing about a former player or want to look back on an old team.
MLB.com
MLB.com is becoming less useful as all these better websites emerge with more customizable dashboards and better advanced info, but if you need simple info, this dashboard they have is decent under Stats from the home page:
Cot’s Baseball Contracts
This one is pretty useful for looking at payroll and contract / salary figures.
Prospect Savant:
This is another one of the many coded websites that provide advanced metrics presented with the iconic Statcast lollipop percentiles format. This one is free, which is dope. You can look at dashboards of all AAA and A players at once or click on the players for a specific player page and detailed look.
Neatly organized, easy to use website to track important stats at all minor league levels. Dashboard available to change timeframe and exclude/ include levels. Also includes draft notes from MLB and news updates as well if you hover over icons on applicable rows.
Substack Creators:
Lance Brozdowski - With Lance you get both paid and free content. His daily notes is remarkably consistent given his itinerary with Marquee Sports Network, and it breaks down pitching changes and standout data from the previous day starting pitchers. Lance is one of, if not the best at wording complex baseball information into accessible language, which I’ve come to realize is the real appeal of his work.
TJStats (Thomas Nestico) - Neatly organized and visually appealing player cards for hitters/ pitchers at minor and major league levels. Patreon includes other resources as well. He writes exceptionally well and incorporates his graphics brilliantly.
JonPGH (Jon Anderson) - Jon has built an army of resources that are incredibly useful for Fantasy managers. Easy to find what you’re looking for week to week with his Resource Gallery. Jon even offers a coding course on his Substack to teach you how to do what he does.
CODING: If you do coding, here are some helpful links for that.
