There’s one for Relief Pitchers, yet there’s none for Designated Hitters. I know it won’t be easy to calculate.
For example, Walter Johnson's advanced pitching tab says he has 10.2 WPA, but the 1918 pitching leaders says he has 3.8. I assume there's some incomplete data, but where exactly do all these differences come from?
Was doing some research to see what Oakland A's player had the most hits at the Oakland Coliseum and obviously the ballpark has had various names over it's history so I assume that selecting any name will account for all of the names?
Running the search I see Rickey Henderson listed with 863 hits, but this site shows him having 895 hits
Thx
Was looking to find the best performers that only played x years in MLB, the closest I can see and have tried is career/combined player finder with years set to -5th to last, and a stat threshold, but this (i don't think) can't be combined with years 'first to last', so unsure if it's possible to see, for example, most WAR for a player who had a 5 year career or failing that a career under X plate appearances / innings
Sorry if it was discussed elsewhere but what are the stars I'm seeing next to players names in the Pro Football Reference listings? Are they replacing All Pro and Pro Bowl selections?
And I'm not seeing Jersey Numbers listed for some players on their tables - is this a thing?
Again, sorry if this was already mentioned somewhere.
Here are the new features you'll see there...
Black Ink
See at a glance who led the conference (bold) and nation (bold & italics) in a variety of categories.
Awards Column
We've added an awards column, so you can see at a glance if a player was an All-American, won the Heisman, and more.
Toggle Per Game Stats
We've added the ability to switch between season totals and per game stats!
More Stats
We've added even more passing stats to this table, including TD%, Int%, Y/C, and Y/G.
My latest dashboard focuses on Rickey Henderson's record-breaking 1982 season. This viz includes my first use of a Sankey Chart and custom mapping. Feedback is always welcome!

June 15, 1923, a game between the Giants and the Reds took place. The player George Burns (1911-1925) did not have a good game, getting an out on every plate appearance. The last flyball he hit is counted as a Sacrifice Fly on the box score (found here: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CIN/CIN192306150.shtml ), so that he had 4 PAs but only 3 ABs. But they didn't count Sacrifice Flies back then, so wouldn't the official box score have shown 4 PAs and 4 ABs? So, BB Ref shows that he went 0 for 3 with a SF, but not really, because the SF is not counted as such in his season totals. So that AB is just not counted, even though it was a flyball out. I'm confused. Is this how all SFs are counted on BB Ref before they were an official stat in 1954? If so, why?
So on Sunday Night Football, they just showed that Justin Simmons has the most career interceptions of active players of the same QB after he made his 6th career interception of Patrick Mahomes tonight.
I was trying to find out what the most ever was but I can’t seem to find it out. Is there someone else out there who just had some QB’s number?
Played pro football for a season. Also goes by syd diesel 44 Anyone know anything about him
I just recently found out that BRef retired their Oracle of Baseball tool in May due to a variety of reasons. For those who don’t know, you could input two players from across baseball history and the Oracle would find a chain between them of other players they shared a roster with. Kinda like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.
Does anyone know of another tool that does this same thing or something similar? I know it’s not a particularly useful tool but I always found it fun to see how many links are between players who played decades apart.
I know that WAR is not simply oWAR + dWAR, but currently Elly De La Cruz has 5.3 oWAR and 0.6 dWAR, giving him an overall WAR of 5, which seems strange to me. I'm not a mathematician so maybe there's an obvious reason for this but can someone explain it to me?
We are thrilled to announce that we have drastically expanded our coverage of WNBA Play-by-Play, as well as statistics derived from Play-by-Play, at Basketball Reference. Previously, our Play-by-Play went back to 2016. and our PxP-derived statistics went back to 2018. However, now we have coverage for over 99.7% of games in WNBA history.
Full announcement can be found on our blog post here: https://www.sports-reference.com/blog/2024/09/all-time-wnba-play-by-play-pxp-derived-statistics-added-to-basketball-reference/
Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback!
Using Stathead, I want to see how many games it took for each player to reach 400 home runs. Is this possible?
Have tried looking in the season scrimmage stats table, fantasy stats, and stathead’s season finder tool, but can only seem to find a “touches” category.
Does “opportunities” (rush attempts + targets) exist to search by anywhere?
I'm a Tableau Developer, and I enjoy creating dashboards using Sports Reference for fun. I've created a page of just those dashboards: https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/greggmhirshberg/vizzes

S-R CFB site has Indiana State's 1982-85 football seasons as missing and requesting data. Indiana State has archived media guides for their seasons on their athletic dept site here. Rosters and stats for each of those seasons are available there.
Hey guys I was wondering if anyone can help me out with this. Whenever I try to import a table using importHLTM it only shows the top 20 and the top 10 are blank. Can anyone help me please.
