MLB

13 boards for the MLB season, all built around the same idea: a player’s numbers mean more once you know who they are up against.

• SlateThe day’s starting point: every scheduled game in one view, each with four quick reads taken from the boards behind it. It answers what is on today, and where to go next, before you open anything else.
• HittersEvery hitter playing today, with how well he has been hitting the ball lately and the pitcher he faces tonight in the same row. It reads how hard and how cleanly he is making contact rather than whether the hits have been falling in.
• PitchersEvery probable starting pitcher today, with how often he strikes hitters out and how easy the lineup he faces is to strike out. It reads a start as a matchup against nine specific hitters rather than as one season-long rate.
• NRFINRFI stands for No Run First Inning. This board covers first-inning scoring specifically — both starters, the top of each order they have to face, and the history behind how often that inning stays scoreless.
• 1st PitchHow each starting pitcher opens an at-bat, and which hitters do damage on the first pitch they see. It isolates a single moment of the plate appearance where tendencies are unusually stable and unusually exploitable.
• Matchup HistoryBatter-versus-pitcher history for the hitters and starters on the slate, with the sample size printed next to every line. It shows what has actually happened between these two players rather than what a model expects.
• StreaksActive hitting and pitching streaks across the league, narrowed to the players who are actually on the slate. It answers "who is running hot right now, and are they playing today" in one place.
• Stolen BasesA ranked list of the best stolen-base spots on the day’s slate, best first. Behind it sit season leaderboards for runners, catchers and pitchers, plus a log of every individual attempt. Stealing a base is a three-way contest, and the board treats it that way.
• MilestonesWho is closest to the next round number in each counting stat, for hitters and pitchers, plus the compound marks that need two stats at once — thirty home runs and thirty steals in a season.
• Daily TrackerEvery ball put in play on a given day, with how hard it was hit, how far it went, and how many of the thirty ballparks it would have cleared.
• Park FactorsHow each of the day’s ballparks treats home runs, extra-base hits and hits, with the weather for the game. Park effects are large and stable, and easy to forget once you are deep in a matchup.
• Flight SimA batted-ball flight model: give it an exit velocity, a launch angle and a direction, and it traces how far that ball carries in a chosen park under chosen conditions.
• LeadersRank every qualified hitter or pitcher by any stat, standard or batted-ball, and export the ranking as a shareable board.

Every board is included with an account, and the numbers behind them refresh through the day — a posted inactive or a late scratch shows up rather than going stale. Create an account to open them.
