What you see ​

Leaders screen

  • Stars of the league: the top players by overall value. The board names the stat it uses in its heading line (VORP or sWAR), with the minimum of 200 PA or 50 IP to appear. Early in the season, when nobody has qualified, this pane becomes Pace setters. It then shows projected sWAR for players with at least 50 PA or 10 IP. A caption under the board reads "Through" the current date, with the day count and the share of the season played.
  • Top starts: the ten best single starts of the regular season by Game Score (GSc). Each row shows the pitcher, the opponent, the date and the line the pitcher threw.
  • Hitting: a leader board for one hitting stat at a time. The stats are HR, RBI, R, H, 2B, 3B, BB, SB, AVG, OBP, SLG and OPS.
  • Pitching: a leader board for one pitching stat at a time. The stats are W, K, SV, HLD, IP, ERA, WHIP and K/9.

The rate stats (AVG, OBP, SLG, OPS, ERA, WHIP, K/9) only rank players who qualify. A full season needs 350 AB for hitters and 100 IP for pitchers. The screen scales that minimum to how much of the season has been played, and shows it in the board heading, such as "min 120 AB". Before anyone qualifies, the board shows who is Closest to the minimum.

What you can do ​

  • Stat buttons on Hitting and Pitching: switch the board to another stat.
  • Position buttons (All, C, IF, OF, DH): on the Hitting board, show only that position group. Pitchers are not affected.
  • What is sWAR? / What is VORP? / What is Game Score?: open a short definition for that stat.
  • Player name or club: click to open that player card or club page.
