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.

For a quick example of how most articles look now (unfinished), see Warren Spahn. For an example of a well-developed article, see Grady Sizemore.

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 there and may be useful to you.

You can browse college information using Category:Colleges or enter the name of a college in the search box and hit enter.

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 – Information about the editing process and editorial review (text or screencast video).
• Projects:
  • Short bios – Brief narratives about players; a non-technical research project good for those who know some players well.
  • Pictures – Uploading pictures and connecting them with their subjects; a mildly technical project good for those who like pictorial research.
  • Collegiate Baseball – Integrating existing research into the encyclopedia; a technical project of organization good for those comfortable with wikitext.
• Other things to know:
  • Help – Index of all help pages (this link is at the left of every page)
  • Known Issues – Technical and organizational problems in the Encyclopedia that are known to the design team.
