Lahman Baseball Database
The Lahman Baseball Database, created by SABR member Sean Lahman, contains complete batting and pitching statistics back to 1871, plus fielding statistics, standings, team stats, managerial records, postseason data, and more.
Lahman’s database allows baseball researchers to perform complex queries across the entire history of the game. The Lahman Baseball Database has served as the foundation for many popular baseball research projects and simulation games, including Out of the Park Baseball and Baseball Mogul.
The updated Lahman Database is now available for download below. Thanks to Bryan Walko for his efforts to produce this annual update.
