But also! Search now includes non-pitches, which means we can properly account for automatic balls and strikes and intentional walks in OBP and other metrics, which was a big hole. Thanks to @dhp.bsky.social for the work on this guy! --> baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast_sea...

Or which pitcher prevented barrels the best, you can do that too This was @alexfast.bsky.social good idea and Dana did the hard work, praise them --> baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/...

So if you want to know things like "which free agent outfielder was the most valuable on defense," you can do that --> baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/...

🚨New at the Baseball Savant factory: We made a free agent leaderboard that lets you see who's available this offseason and what their Statcast metrics are. --> baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/...
