New features, improvements, and fixes to the SBC Stats Chronicle

v2.3

Team Rankings in Stat Leaders & National Visuals

Team Rankings on Stat Leaders

The Stat Leaders page now features a full Team Rankings mode alongside the existing player leaderboards. Use the new Players / Teams toggle at the top of the page to switch between individual and team-level views. Both modes share the same conference filter and stat-category dropdown — covering batting metrics like AVG, OPS, wOBA, ISO, and BABIP, as well as pitching categories including ERA, FIP, K/9, and HR/9.

Load More Pagination

Both the player and team leaderboards now support progressive loading. Instead of a fixed top-10 list, a "Show next 10" button appears at the bottom of each table and loads additional results in increments of 10, up to a maximum of 50 entries visible at once.

National Views in Visuals

The Visuals page now includes a National option across all chart types, allowing you to compare teams across all of Division I baseball — not just conference-specific breakdowns. Team Aggregates, scatter plots, and distribution charts all support the national scope, giving a full-picture view of where any program stands nationally.

v2.2

Lineup Builder, National Rankings & Stat Enhancements

Lineup Builder

We've introduced a powerful new Lineup Builder tool. This feature allows you to seamlessly construct, optimize, and simulate starting lineups using a Monte Carlo simulation engine to predict the number of runs scored in a 9-inning game against an NCAA average pitcher.

National Rankings

You can now track how your favorite teams and players compare across the entire country. We've begun surfacing National Division-1 rankings directly on individual team pages and player cards.

XBH Added to Batting Tables

Extra Base Hits (XBH) have been added to the advanced batting tables for every team. The stat is now available for search and filtering on the league leaderboards, Player Finder and in Visuals.

v2.1

User Accounts, Front Page Customization & Smarter FIP

User Accounts

The Chronicle now supports user accounts. You can register with an email and password directly from the banner teaser in the top-left corner of any page. Once logged in, you'll find two tabs inside your account panel — Front Page and Settings — where you can personalize your experience and manage your credentials.

Front Page Customization

Logged-in users can now fully customize the six stat leaderboards displayed on the front page. Choose any four team stat tables from a library of batting and pitching metrics — including OPS, wOBA, BABIP, ERA, FIP, WHIP, K/9, and more — and configure each with a secondary companion column. The two player spotlight sections are equally customizable, with support for qualifying minimums (AB for batters, IP for pitchers). Set a Favorite Team to get a direct link to your team's full stats page from the front page.

Dynamic FIP Constant

FIP (Fielding Independent Pitching) has been recalibrated. FIP is now anchored to the NCAA average ERA, with the constant calculated as lgERA minus lgRawFIP using all individual pitcher lines in the database. As of this posting that constant is approximately 4.39. The constant recalculates automatically with each daily data sync, keeping the metric properly calibrated throughout the season.

Updates are posted here whenever significant new features or data improvements are deployed.
