New Boxscores on FanGraphs

by
April 11, 2011

Our boxscores just got a major overhaul after being neglected for several years! Here’s what’s new:

– The Game Graphs, Play Log, and Box Score sections were merged into one single page.

– Almost every FanGraphs stat is available in the boxscore both on the individual player level and team total level. Every stat comes in its own familiar section, just as they’re laid out on the player pages and leaderboards.

– Each section is fully sortable with much improved sorting performance.

– Each stat can be hovered over for a tooltip style quick definition.

– Stars of the Game voting and viewing can be conducted on the boxscore page. Please remember to vote!

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.

All the new boxscores are available for both live games and any game dating back to 1974.

Big thanks to Amazin’ Avenue for thoroughly trashing our previous boxscore layout.

These are glorious. And to think I didn’t even realize these boxscores had existed on Fangraphs. Great work, guys.

While I love the new box scores, I was wondering if you could make all of that information collapsible. I don’t really want to see most of that information, so it seems cluttered. If I could quickly open/close each section, it would look a lot cleaner. I’m glad it’s all on one page, but having it all open is information overload.

Interesting that the play in the 12th where Yunel Escobar is out at third has no indication that he was ruled out because of fielder interference. From reading the description you would think he was tagged or something by the third baseman instead of being hit by a terrible call by a bad umpire.

I believe Escobar was out on Umpire Incompetence.

Is that a SABR approved stat?

I find it disconcerting that the pitchers aren’t listed in order of appearance like a traditional box. Otherwise, I love it. Keep up the great work.

The live scoreboard and game graphs and everything are awesome. While glancing at the Rangers/Tigers game graph I was thinking “I wish I could see the lineups and traditional box score as well”… then I clicked on the tab mysteriously labeled “BOX SCORE” and found everything I ever wanted and much much more. So much for working while baseball games are on.
