2014 Added to Neutralized Stats Tables

Posted by Mike Lynch on October 8, 2014

Just a quick announcement that the 2014 season has been added as an option to our Neutralized Stats tables. As a reminder, these tables can be found by clicking on "More Stats" on player pages and then scrolling down to the neutralized section.

This feature allows us to compare players across eras. For instance, the image below shows how each of Pedro Martinez's seasons would have looked if pitching in the environment of the 2014 Dodgers:

    Great stuff as always, Mike. I enjoy the neutralized stats greatly. Wouldn't it be cool if we could do PI season searches using neutralized stats, so that we could compare neutralized stats rather than using them only one player at a time?

    Thank you. That's an interesting idea. Thank you for sharing

    I love the neutralized stats but I would like to see a league quality adjustment added and eventually neutralized stats for minor and foreign leagues (if they exist) added to the players stats. If were going to play what if, why not included their entire professional career not just MLB
