Leaderboard Upgrades!

by
November 5, 2010

The leaderboards and team pages now have a bunch of new features!

– There’s a new Dashboard tab which mimics the stats shown the player dashboard area.

– wRC+, tERA, FSR, and TZL (Total Zone w/ Location Data) have been added.

– The Fans Scouting Report has been given its own section.

– WAR data for both batters and pitchers can now be filtered on a monthly basis. This is done by pro-rating UZR and Positional adjustments based on playing time.

– You can now go back as far as 1871 in both the leaderboards and team sections.

You Aren't a FanGraphs Member
It looks like you aren't yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren't logged in). We aren't mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we'd like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won't bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.
3. Dark mode and Classic mode!
4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.
9. A weekly mailbag column, exclusively for Members.
10. Help support FanGraphs and our entire staff! Our Members provide us with critical resources to improve the site and deliver new features!
We hope you'll consider a Membership today, for yourself or as a gift! And we realize this has been an awfully long sales pitch, so we've also removed all the other ads in this article. We didn't want to overdo it.

Here are some additional notes:

– All positional filtering is done on a qualified player basis. If a player played in 25% or more of his games at a particular position than he’s qualified.

– Reliever/Starter filtering pre-1974 right now will filter only on pure starters/relievers and any dual-role pitchers will be left out. This will be fixed in a future update.

If you notice any problems or spot any bugs, please let us know!

But any chance we can get the quick glossary for those pages too?

Loving that tERA has been added. Seeing it next to xFIP on a sortable list is next to godliness.

Is there any way to search the leaders for a given time period? Say 1980 to the present or 1940-1970?

Baseball-Reference’s Play Index will do this for you. You can use it for free (but generally just get results for players 6-25), you need to pay if you want full results. It’s a pretty amazing tool.

Any way you guys can switch your sorting feature so it defaults to highest-to-lowest? Everything sorts lowest-to-highest, which is really only good for a few pitching stats. Most of the time we look at highest-to-lowest. As it is, you have to click the sorting feature twice in order to see the leaders ranked.

Thanks!

I concur. This has always bugged me a little bit, but not enough to post about. Thanks for everything, Fangraphs! Love the site.

Is there a limit to the number of stats we can look at in our dashboards? If so, if we list too many which ones get chosen. Many of my pitching stats are not showing up on my dashboard, and my guess is that I have too many listed. They seem to be chosen from my list in a random way (not in order). The stats being left out are in the middle of my list. Thoughts?

Is this on the stats pages or the leaderboards? You currently can’t customize your dashboard on the leaderobards, but that feature is coming.

If you’re having problems with the player pages custom dashboard I’ll take a look.

I guess I misread the new capability. I thought the dashboard was exportable to the leaderboard. I will wait for the new feature. It will be a great one, when it comes. 🙂

Thanks David. Having all the fielding stats in one place is awesome. I’ve been hoping for that for a long time.

The only problem is neither TZ nor TZL seems to be showing up in the leaderboards. Are they going to show up soon?

TZ and TZL prior to 2010 should show up. I imagine we’ll eventually have 2010, but haven’t asked Sean about it yet.
