Chris Clegg's MLB and MILB Advanced Database 2.0
Chris Clegg provides his database with advanced stats for both MLB and MILB.
If you know me or have followed my work for a while, you know that I love advanced data. I have studied it for a long time and figured out the best ways to blend it with scouting methods to help find the best players for fantasy baseball players.
The updated database has a ton of new data, perfect for offseason research for redraft or dynasty leagues.
There is a ton of data out there, and knowing what is just noise and what is useful is highly important. Most of the MILB data is non-public, but as the ABS system continues to be implemented in the Minor Leagues, we have statcast data for Triple-A and Single-A(Florida State League). Also, in the backlogs on MLB API, you can get swing data which means accurate contact rates for every Minor League hitter, swinging strike rates, and CSW% for every MILB pitcher. Metrics that I find highly useful in my evaluation process.
I knew zero about code coming into this year, but I have worked hard to understand better how to code to get this data and give access to you, the reader. So, over the last few months, I have been working to properly code and get this data and present it in a useful way to the reader.
Currently, you can see and compare:
For All Levels(A-MLB)
-Contact%
-CSW%
-Swinging Strike%
-K-BB%
-Strike%
SPLITS(New)
-Hitters vs RHP and LHP for:
-BA
-SLG
-Contact%
-Average EV
-90th EV
-and More
For Statcast Games(A,AAA,MLB)
-Launch Angle

-90th Percentile EV
-Max EV
Pitcher Arsenals
-Pitch types
-Average Velo

I will make it a point to get every possible public MiLB data point available to you for research!
