The FanGraphs+ Player Profile Game
Inspired by our daily contest, the FanGraphs+ Player-Profile Game is now an actual game you can play on your very own, as often as you like!
The rules are simple. We take all the FanGraphs+ player profiles, removed the player’s name from said profile, and you have to guess whose profile it is. Your goal is to correctly guess as many in a row as possible. You have 60 seconds per round and you can guess incorrectly once each round. If you do exceptionally well, your guessing streak is recorded in the leaderboards so all can see that you are indeed awesome.
If you are already a FanGraphs+ subscriber and you get the answer wrong, you will be told the correct answer. However, if you are not a FanGraphs+ subscriber, you will be forever left wondering….
David Appelman is the creator of FanGraphs.

any way to make the load faster or more consistent? i typed out “drew, stephen” with 20 seconds to spare and it didn’t load in time to submit.
otherwise, very fun game!
If it gets stuck, just remove a letter, or add a letter. It should fix itself. I will poke around and see if I can get it to not get stuck at all.
I find it only gets stuck on last names. I have no problems if I just type in the first name then scroll and find him.
Fun addicting game. Dane de la Rosa’s name was actually still in his profile.
There are a few that ar incredibly frustrating. Like “This 31 year old utility infielder is awful” “Or this guy at low-A could be a mid rotation guy”
having some trouble with the Drop-down bar. many times i type in part of the name or all of it, and it just sits on ‘loading’
This happens to me every single time.

Fangraphs did not need more of my time.
Thanks for bringing my work day productivity to new lows.
Is there any way we could have a “skip to next” question option if we have no idea who the player is. It could count as an incorrect answer.
just guess twice with blank answers
this one is messed up

Like every other online game, I anticipate that the leaderboard will be all Asian names by tomorrow.
This is a great idea, and it has wheels, but the speed with which your player search works makes the game frustrating more than anything right now.
I think we’ve fixed the player search. If you are still seeing issues, please let us know here!
Hey, just a heads up. Evan Longoria was referred to as Longo, Iwakuma as Kuma, and Brock Holt as BROCK HOLT.
