Baseball Draft: 2nd Round of the 1989 June Draft - Baseball-Reference.com
I have cleaned up a number of issues with the draft data and now have some additional features.
Compensation and supplemental picks are all now notated. We also went back and handled the ninety or so voided picks or picks where a team didn’t make a pick (in the bathroom I guess). We also now allow you to search by state, so you can attempt to get all of the players drafted out of a particular state, but keep in mind that there are about 1500 entries out of 58,000 where no state has been entered yet. We’ll try to fix those next.
There aren’t going to be a lot of shiny new features over the next two months because I’m undertaking a major re-writing of the B-R architecture. Basically, I’m getting it onto the same platform as the other sports reference sites. This will speed up development (eventually) and also add a bunch of new features like snazzy in-place sorting and our new logo.
So if it seems a little quiet here, that doesn’t mean I’m taking the summer off. It just means I’m working behind the scenes.
Baseball Draft: 2007 Picks in the June Draft, with a listed position of LHP - Baseball-Reference.com
It only took 11 months, but I finally got the 2007 draft data added to the site. I’ve also added pitcher handedness to the tables for 99.1% of the pitchers selected in the draft. So you can now view all of the LHP, RHP or both.
The next order of business will be to add things like the state from which they were selected and to normalize the school names, add a HS, JC and College search feature, and then link all of these players up to their minor league pages as well.
