Information About

Baseball Prospectus




Baseball Prospectus produces several products for baseball enthusiasts:

  • The web site BaseballProspectus.com , which contains articles, statistical reports, and fantasy baseball tools. Some content and reports are free; some are only available to paid subscribers.


  • A best-selling annual book (e.g. Baseball Prospectus 2006 ) that contains statistics and analysis of the past season and forecasts of the upcoming season.




Baseball Prospectus has fathered several popular new statistical tools which have become hallmarks of baseball analysis, including VORP ( Value Over Replacement Player ), PAP (Pitcher Abuse Points), EqA (Equivalent Average), and PECOTA (a player forecasting system).

The analysis and statistics favored by Baseball Prospectus are similar to the principles followed by Oakland A's General Manager Billy Beane as featured in the book, '' Moneyball '' by Michael Lewis .
