We Have Postseason Leaderboards!
In case you forgot, FanGraphs has postseason leaderboards for the entirety of baseball history!
We rolled these out a couple years ago, but now that we have a day of postseason data for 2025, I figured it would be worth a quick reminder. There’s a handy dropdown on the leaderboards where you can select the round (or all rounds) of the postseason you are interested in querying:
Our postseason leaderboards include almost all of the stats we make available during the regular season. This includes MLB Statcast data since 2015 and win probability metrics since 1903.
Let us know if you have any questions, or have trouble finding something in the comments!
David Appelman is the creator of FanGraphs.
Without the postseason leaderboards I never would have known that the two pitchers with at least 20 IP and a 0.00 ERA since 1970 are John Rocker & Joe Niekro.
Awesome, thanks David!
Unrelated leaderboard question – is it possible to look at single-season leaders (regular season or postseason)? I was trying to look at how Cal Raleigh’s season stacks up against the best catcher seasons in fWAR. But couldn’t figure out how to get there in the UI.
There is.
Choose your date range and right below that there is a split seasons box. You can then select a primary position and set a min. PA.
For instance, since 1947 (min. 400 PA) 2025 Raleigh comes in at 9.1 WAR, tied for third with 1997 Piazza behind 1972 Bench (9.2 WAR) in second with 2012 Buster (9.8 WAR) in first.
Raleigh’s 161 wRC+ comes in 10th on that same leaderboard.
Thank you!
see @grandbranyon’s answer, but tbh this is not intuitive and I wish the site would make that feature a little more user-friendly
