August 11, 2014

NEW YORK -- Fans, players and even scouts may notice a new look to MiLB.com's player pages today as we introduce upgraded individual pages for everyone from prospects to journeymen.

Enhanced player pages on MiLB.com now include a wealth of improvements and additional information, some of which came straight from fan feedback. Users can now quickly see a player's age, his entire game-by-game history for any season and even check out related news stories, features, exclusive MiLB.TV video highlights, photos and much more.

Here's a quick rundown on what's now at your fingertips on MiLB.com's new player pages:

  • Sortable game logs for every season that show a detailed look at every game performance
  • Postseason statistics for each season, previously not available on MiLB.com
  • Fielding statistics, including fielding percentage, assists, errors, double-plays and positions (users can also link his or her friends directly to different stat types, since the browser URL will change as he or she clicks on different tabs)
  • Batter vs. Pitcher stats that allow the user to sort by opponent to see how your favorite prospects fared
  • Additional statistical categories, including WHIP for pitchers
  • A simple sort that enables the user to immediately find any roster
  • Recent and related MiLB.TV video highlights
  • Recent player news headlines, features, Q&A's and other MiLB.com stories 
  • At-a-glance access to a player's age (a popular fan request) in addition to birth date
  • Upcoming games, including probable pitcher matchups and ticket information
  • Larger player headshots and exclusive MiLB.com action photos
  • A more-detailed and fully-sortable look at career stats, including Major League seasons

Curious how Cubs top prospect Kris Bryant did this season against Dodgers prospect Zach Lee? It's easy to check: head over to Bryant's player page, available via MiLB.com's auto-suggest search bar, and then click on "Batter vs. Pitcher" under career stats, then select Albuquerque -- Bryant, hitting .341 this season, is 1-for-1 with a three-run homer off Lee, the Dodgers' No. 6 prospect. You'll notice, Bryant has also gone deep against three other Isotopes pitchers this season... ouch.

Fans can continue to bookmark their favorite players and have easy access to parent affiliates, league information and ways to share your prospects's stats on Facebook and Twitter. We hope you enjoy the new features and look!
