Site Features: Composite totals added to Team Game Finder
21st June 2011
Here's another new addition to the Play Index -- the Team Batting & Pitching Game Finders will now output a team's composite batting or pitching stats from the games in question. This will allow you to find things like the teams who drew the most single-season walks in the 2000s:
| Rk | Tm | Year | BB ▾ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SEA | 2000 | 775 |
| 2 | OAK | 2000 | 750 |
| 3 | SFG | 2000 | 709 |
| 4 | SFG | 2004 | 705 |
| 5 | BOS | 2007 | 689 |
| 6 | CLE | 2000 | 685 |
| 7 | NYY | 2003 | 684 |
| 8 | SDP | 2001 | 678 |
| 9 | STL | 2000 | 675 |
| 10 | NYM | 2000 | 675 |
Similarly, you can use the Pitching Game Finder to look for team leaders like 2000-2011 teams that allowed the most HR in a season:
| Rk | Tm | Year | HR ▾ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | KCR | 2000 | 239 |
| 2 | COL | 2001 | 239 |
| 3 | CIN | 2004 | 236 |
| 4 | HOU | 2000 | 234 |
| 5 | CHC | 2000 | 231 |
| 6 | ANA | 2000 | 228 |
| 7 | COL | 2002 | 225 |
| 8 | CHW | 2004 | 224 |
| 9 | TEX | 2001 | 222 |
| 10 | HOU | 2001 | 221 |
| 11 | COL | 2000 | 221 |
While we don't have a full-fledged Team Season Finder yet, this is an easy way to get some of the same results.
