Wondering why batted ball data doesn't always add up to 100%? Rounding is part of the answer, but poor record keeping and/or errors in collection are the primary reasons. The same goes for raw stat discrepancies between our site (Jeff Sackmann's data) and Baseball-Reference or MiLB.com. There are no plans to fix these "problems" as they are fairly minor in nature.

Park and League-Adjusted (MLE) Stats

What the player would have done in a neutral park in MLB. For pitchers, IP is NOT properly adjusted and MLE factors are very experimental. And FIP/xFIP is not yet calculated for MLE totals. xFIP for MLEs also assumes the pitcher will have the same amount of fly balls. This is probably wrong.

I also made the Advanced Baseball Injury Database if you are interested in that sort of thing.
