Baseball Graphs is dedicated to the better use and communication of baseball statistics. Below, you'll find excerpts from, and links to, some of the best baseball writers on the Internet. Follow the links above to read my own intermittent attempts at wisdom (the Baseball Graphs blog), and the heart of this site, historical graphs of every season dating back to 1900.
There are also two special sections you might want to check out. One is the graphical review of the 2003 season, which informed our work at The Hardball Times. The other is the Batted Balls Library, which includes a unique look at batters and pitchers from 2002 through 2005.
I’ve updated the Win Shares files in the baseball graphs FTP section. The files now include all historical Win Shares, including 2006. There are three Excel spreadsheets:
- Win Shares by team
- Win Shares by player per season
- Win Shares by player per team per season
The data covers two Excel sheets, which makes it hard to look at all the data at once. So I’ve also included a CSV file with all player/team/seasons broken out. This file can be imported into Access.
You can download the files at ftp://ftp.baseballgraphs.com/winshares
These files are provided as a public service. If you have questions or see problems with the data (which wouldn’t surprise me at all), leave a comment.
Update (11:22 CST): Found a couple of mistakes (incorrect player labels). Corrected.
