Some Small, Random BBref Improvements

1st September 2013

I'm working on fixing a lot of bugs today (family's out of town, so I'm getting some back work done).

Today I've:

  1. Added a PH/PR option to the positions for the batting season finder.
  2. Allowed you to search on Offensive and Defensive WAR on the Season finder.
  3. On minor league player pages, there is now a level summary showing the totals by level in rank order of the level. Before it was the ordered by the # of seasons in each level.

NBA & ABA Trailers | Basketball-Reference.com.

Just a fun add to the site that didn't take too much time. Of course it probably isn't fun if you are the all-time worst FG% shooter.

Japanese Baseball (1936-yesterday) – Baseball-Reference.com

30th August 2013

Japanese Baseball History - Baseball-Reference.com.

We are very pleased to announce that we have added complete NPB stats back to the start of professional baseball in Japan in 1936. This work was compiled from existing sources by Ted Turocy (creator of the Chadwick Baseball Bureau). These stats are updated daily, so you can track Wladimir Balentien's chase of Sadaharu Oh.

This data was also incorporated into our MLB players pages. So if you go to Ichiro's page, you will now see a "Show NPB/Minors" link above his batting stats and clicking on that will show you his NPB stats along with his mlb stats.

Team Offensive & Defensive Schemes Added

23rd August 2013

Thanks to the tireless research of Neil Paine we now have team offensive schemes & defensive alignments on team pages going back as far as 1957. I've also added team and opponent offense and defense as options on the team game finder tool, if for instance you want to find how teams performed against the 3-4 defense in 2012. Think we have a team's scheme wrong? Help us fix it!
