Statcast xwOBA doesn't exist prior to 2015, so it's only for his 2016 playoff appearance.

That’s a 403 forbidden error. We have had serious problems with bots in the past couple months and when it’s impacting site usability we’ve had to block all automated traffic. It’s not permanent and you should typically be able to try again in a couple hours and it will work.

This is a bit of a mystery on our end too. I'm going to have to ask our image provider about it.

Sorry, made a mistake here. For 2024 Coors is .99. Diamondbacks with roof open is 1.14, so Coors is definitely a lot lower. I was looking at an adjusted air density calculation that doesn't give a correct picture.

Average air density for 2025 games in AZ (measured near Chase) is considerably lower at 1.141 than the average at any park location during game time in-season. Lowest is 1.173 and that's Chase and that's only when the roof is open.

Since you brought it up, what is worse about the site and is there anything you think has improved?

That's very kind of you, but please do log-in. There's lots of great Member features and you can't get your custom year end FanGraphs Walk-Off if you don't log in. It's also just a better experience in general.

The playing time projections change regularly. Was there some specific change you were looking for, or trying to figure out if we made?

Yes, pitchers have their own framing metric which is part of FanGraphs WAR.

It's a hidden feature, but it can be done by adding &age=b2000,1998 to a leaderboard url. This would show players born between (and including) 1998-2000.
