Minor League Splits Blog

I’ve made several small improvements to the site in the last week or so.  Foremost among them is the addition of three new categories of leaders: August, Park Adjusted, and MLEs.  For instance, you can quickly find out who led the International League in HRs in August, who allowed the lowest park-adjusted batting average in the Carolina League, or who had the highest Minor League Equivalency batting average in the full-season Minors.

I also made several corrections to my method for calculating MLEs for pitchers, to bring my numbers into closer agreement with Sean Smith’s.  (I am using his method–I might as well do it right!)  Further, I now alter batted ball numbers for Park and MLE stats.  Since K’s, BB’s, and HR’s often differ from a player’s overall stat line, the number of batted balls changes–I just adjust the batted-ball totals to reflect that.

Other exciting new features are on their way!
