Seasonal Batting and Pitching Minor League Leaders
1970 Minor League Batting Leaders - Baseball-Reference.com
Got a little bit of time today to add league pitching leaders and yearly leaders (across all levels). To get to a year, go to the front page of the minors select a year and then select the leaders. To get a league leader, go to the league page and then select the leaders. Here is a pitching leaderboard.
A couple things are still missing.
1) Leaderboards by level (A, AA, etc.)
2) Speed, this is really slow, so I may have to cache results or something
BTW, a 20-year old SS in AAA with a .340/.389/.522 line?! We'd be going crazy over that now.

I'm just having a hard time believing Dusty Baker was ever 21!
I echo MogulMan, great work, and thank you so much for the minor league stats.

Very interesting. The 1970 minor-league OBP leader, for Yankees affiliate Manchester in the AA Eastern League, was 22-year-old outfielder Joe Pactwa, whose big-league career consisted of a handful of games as a pitcher for the Angels in 1975. Pactwa switched to the mound full time in 1973. Of course, quite a few guys drafted as position players become pitchers before reaching the majors, but Pactwa's 25 homers and 128 walks at AA don't look like the numbers of a guy who won't be able to handle major-league pitching.
Sean, thanks for yet another improvement to an amazing Web site.
