Welcome to the development site for the SABR Baseball Encyclopedia project

Currently featuring articles about 179,821 people, 4976 league-seasons, 31871 team-seasons, and 681 ballparks.

Things to see

Since the Encyclopedia is still in development, it is more of a project than a resource. If you are interested in doing research and helping build the Encyclopedia into a more valuable resource, you can get started with one of the projects listed on the right.

If you are here to use the Encyclopedia as a research resource, you will find that it offers approximately the same (or more) information on professional players as the old SABR Encyclopedia. Currently, this includes:

  • Playing statistics for Major Leaguers from Pete Palmer's database
  • Playing statistics for minor leaguers from the SABR Minor League Statistics Project (as available)
  • Pictorial History records for Major Leaguers
  • Links to other SABR research on players (in development)

To find information a player, just enter their name (full name or surname) into the search box at left and hit enter.

Sabrpedia.org also features research from the Collegiate Baseball Committee. Much of the research has not been fully integrated into the Encyclopedia (this is a project in progress), but the information is still there and may be useful to you. You can browse the information using Category:Colleges or enter the name of a college in the search box and hit enter.

Getting involved

If you would like to get involved in building the Encyclopedia, there are three well-defined projects that you can start with immediately. Start by watching or reading the general guide to the editing process, then look at the projects below.

  • Introduction to editing
  • Projects:
    • Short bios – A non-technical research project good for those who know some players well.
    • Pictures – A mildly technical project good for those who do pictorial research.
    • Collegiate Baseball – A technical project of organization good for those comfortable with wikitext.
