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 information on professional players as the old SABR Encyclopedia, although it is more up to date. This includes:

  • Pete Palmer database statistics for major leaguers
  • SABR Minor League Statistics Project statistics for all other professional leagues (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 into the search box at left and hit enter.
