Re: [baseball-databank] Re: Pitching Data and a General Note

Tom,

Thank you again for the offer. I think we should start out small and
get things tied together.

In fielding, we could use

Catcher SB, CS, and Catcher interference.

Pickoffs for pitchers

Games started and innings played by position.

We could also use separate LF/CF/RF data for any years you can provide it.

A listing of all triple plays you have

In pitching,
RBOE, 2B, 3B, SB, CS, CI, Pickoffs (as Tom listed)

I might also like to see reliever pitching as well, but that isn't a
high priority.

In Batting, RBOE seems like the only other "major" need.


That is probably sufficient for now.

I think something using your ids and comma-delimited should be fine.

Thank you for the help.

ON A GENERAL NOTE

We are probably due for a state of the BDB note at some point. I'm
going to be leaving Baseball Primer in the near future, so I hope I'll
have more development time for the BDB.

One thing that I've known for years is that we need to decentralize and
create a means by which no one person is a bottleneck, but we still need
proper review and some mechanism for considering and incorporating changes.

Sincerely,
Sean Forman

I noticed that SH and SF allowed data seems to be missing from the pitching tables. Was this omission intentional (or did I misread the documentation)? While...

The "holes" in our data is as follows. I suggest that this post gets updated going forward. Hitting: SB - 1876 to 1885 CS - 1876 to 1919 IBB - 1871 to 1954 ...
