We’ve Updated Our Player Pages!

by
June 10, 2024

Our new player pages, which have been available to FanGraphs Members for the past week, are now available to everyone! Thank you to all our Members who helped test these out. The new player pages include a number of enhancements:

Vertical Menu

We have a new vertical menu with expandable options within each player page. Now you can access Pitch-Type Splits and Pitch Velocity Graphs without going through other menus.

The menu is now accessible via a floating action button in the bottom right corner on mobile devices. This allows you to access the menu from any point on the page without having to scroll to find it.

Modular Player Information

We’ve given the player information section an overhaul with organized modules. There are now additional RosterResource details, such as player role, acquisition method, and current contract information seamlessly integrated into the layout.

Data Table Enhancements

We’ve streamlined pitch-level data into fewer tables with selectors for the different data sources. Pitch Type and Velocity are also now in one table, and the Pitch Values/100 have been combined with the Pitch Values into a single table. For the Statcast and Pitch Info data, we’ve filtered out pitch types columns where we don’t have data for both pitchers and batters, though this will be less noticeable for batters.

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.

Pitch Modeling

We’ve added pitch modeling tables for both Pitching Bot and Stuff+. The pitch modeling sections allow you to toggle between the different models.

I also wanted to recognize and thank the rest of the engineering team, David Appelman and Keaton Arneson, for their contributions to this project!

It’s gonna take me a minute to get fully used to it (I’ve got my player page scrolling habits in muscle memory, lol) but the new layout has grown on me immensely in the short time I’ve been messing with it. Great job!
