MSB Historical Statistics

May 10, 2024, 02:10:03 PM

All,

I've spent a couple days (well actually a lot longer than that as Mike Loar and I started talking about this back in January) trying to figure out a way to compile and keep a history of MSB's statistics. Originally Mike had suggested using the DMB Encyclopedia but, perhaps because of how we've saved the databases over the years, I couldn't figure out a way to import them into the Encylopedia.

Anyway, Google Sheets has always worked for me so I figured why reinvent the wheel? Over the past week and a half, I've imported the major statistics from every season into this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YI5hepd6li3_KKnVGmnzVxG3aZri9ZmMTf6MKKLeSfo

Using that raw data (which is hidden and protected), I built six spreadsheets that can be sorted and filtered. These sheets include:

MSB Career Batting: This shows all players major career batting statistics in MSB. Really lets you compare players over time; Pujols holds a lot of our records: hits, home runs, runs and RBI.
MSB Career Pitching: Similar as the last one. Did anyone know that Roy Halladay had 48 complete games and 18 shut-outs? Though Scherzer and Verlander are really crushing the competition on Ks... 3355 for Scherzer in 14 seasons, 3306 for Verlander in 15, and the rest of the field is 450+ behind (though that #3 is Kershaw).
MSB Ind. Season Batting: Gives you all data from all seasons. #2 RBI season in MSB was Vladimir Guerrero in 2009 with 158 RBI. #1 is quite the surprise - Adrian Gonzalez in 2010 with 188 RBIs! What happened?
MSB Ind. Season Pitching: Same as last but for pitching. Most IP was Adam Wainwright in 2011 with 270.1 innings and a 3.85 ERA. But wow, perhaps the most dominating season is Roy Halladay in 2012 with 265.1 IP, a 2.27 ERA, 16 CG, 4 shutouts, and a 205/52 K/BB ratio.
Individual Batting: Allows you to select a particular batter and it will pull up both their career and individual batting statistics.
Individual Pitching: Allows you to select a particular pitcher and it will pull up both their career and individual pitching statistics.

Looking to hear your thoughts.

Well at least you can steal the statistics from my spreadsheet.

Very cool guys!

I'm not an accountant or data analyst or anything like that, but I do like working with spreadsheets and keeping track of different things like campout attendees, cornhole stats, hours worked, etc.

If you guys ever need any help maintaining something for MSB, reach out and I would be willing to help.
