Recent site improvements, fixes, and new features.

Introducing Smart Player Comparisons

Tweak

Compare any two players across sports with our new transparent player comparison tool. Unlike typical stat rankings, our system shows you exactly what's being compared:

See Both Actual & Projected Stats — View raw season performance alongside full-season projections scaled fairly (162 games for hitters, 200 IP for pitchers). No hidden formulas.

Smarter Scoring Algorithm — We've removed team-dependent stats like RBI and focus on individual performance: OPS, Home Runs, Walks, Stolen Bases, and Strikeout Rate. For pitchers, we use rate-based metrics (K/9, ERA, WHIP) to fairly compare across leagues and experience levels.

Instant Visual Comparison — Gold-bordered highlights show which player wins each category. The winning player's probability box glows gold, making the matchup clear at a glance.

Handles Partial Seasons Fairly — Injured mid-season? No problem. Our system projects what players could do at their current pace over a full healthy season, so early-season performance isn't ignored.

Perfect for Debates — Whether you're settling fantasy arguments or analyzing trade value, the transparent stats and clean interface let you dig into what actually matters.

eBay Search Category Fix

Fix

When viewing player pages, clicking links like "Autos," "Rookies," or other card presets now correctly searches eBay in the player's sport category (football, soccer, basketball, etc.) instead of defaulting to baseball. This means way better results for non-baseball collectors. 🎯

Sport Navigation Memory

Fix

When you browse teams by sport and click into a player page, the "Back to Teams" link now remembers which sport you were viewing and takes you back to the right category instead of resetting to baseball.

Player Comparison Update

Fix

Fixed stat alignment for dual-role players such as Shohei Ohtani — the comparison page now correctly distinguishes and loads hitting vs. pitching data.

Refined the prediction formula for more balanced score ranges, shifting from a “5-Year Projection” to a more accurate “Season Prediction.”

Updated on-page wording to better explain why a player holds the advantage in each matchup.
