Minor League Statistics

NPB has the minor league stats up for the last few years on their site: 2005, 2006. Some teams (Carp, Fighters, Giants) also have minor league stats with major league stats on their individual player pages on the official sites.

(I'm sure there are better places; those are the ones that jump to mind off the top of my head.)

Thanks very much Deanna, I appreciate it!

Are there any places, other than the NPB site, with more detailed ni-gun stats? I'm specifically looking for pitcher stats for ni-gun that include hits allowed, home runs allowed, and (optionally) batters faced for each pitcher. Thanks in advance, if anyone can help.

If you want the data for past seasons, the above fields are all available in the yearly "Record Book" published by Baseball Magazine Sha. I can key in those for a few specific players back to 1995 if you like.

If it's live stats for the season you want, NPB-BIS has Eastern League Pitchers and Western League Pitchers for those who have thrown at least 0.8 x team games innings. Those pages have both hits and home runs allowed, but not batters faced. (Hits + walks + strike outs will get you close - just missing sacrifices and errors.)

I'd tried a number of the teams' pages that actually put farm information up on their sites, but hadn't found anything nearly as complete as the NPB site. I don't think that any of the teams really know how to use their NPB-BIS terminals (which, from what I've gathered from some who have access to them, are intentionally setup to prevent easily copying the information to other systems).

Thanks for the offer. I'm developing a NPB roster set for Out of the Park Baseball 2007. I've already setup a historical database for the game, using NPB stats from your's and Michael Eng's databases. The stats were excellent, and the database is working great in allowing people to play a historical NPB (alongside a historical MLB) from 1958 to present. Thanks for having such a great database!

I'm also trying to develop a 2007 roster set with accurate majors and ni-gun. I've been using ni-gun stats from '05 and '06 to generate player ratings as well. I've used the NPB-BIS site to cull batting statistics to use. But as for pitching stats, the hits and HRs allowed are necessary, hence the request. If they're not readily available on the web from those years, then that's OK.

Thanks again for the offer, and for having such a great database up on the site.

Oh, and one more related question. Is there a list of the top prospects in NPB? Sort of like Baseball America's top 100 prospects list, but for NPB? Thanks in advance.
