Using analytics is far more complicated when trying to build predictive models for players. But for schools, it’s far less so. Albeit harder this year than most due to two conferences only playing themselves, and another basically cancelling the season; there are still historically-based and far less volatile metrics (like ELO) available to rank teams....

We are excited to announce the launch of our new BaseballCloud platform! It has been months in the making and has taken hundreds of hours of testing to make sure everything runs smoothly as we migrate over all of our teams' accounts, and onboard new teams. BC users will now be able to access all... Continue Reading →
The weather is warming up and that means the ball is starting to fly and fans are packing stadiums as we are in the midst of conference play for Division 1 baseball. The D1 Rerun is here to recap all the madness that occurred over the weekend! The Hokies brought their bats to Winston-Salem this... Continue Reading →
Over the past three full seasons, the Pac-12 has been defined by a dominant team. 2017 Oregon State and 2019 UCLA were among the best regular-season groups of the past decade. The standings were a little more jumbled in 2018, but Oregon State always looked like a potential juggernaut that year, and the Beavers had... Continue Reading →
We had MLB and college baseball on Thursday last week due to Easter weekend, so we have a lot to to get caught up on. Let's hop right in! Mississippi State bounced back from getting swept last weekend with a sweep of their own over Kentucky. These four straight Curveballs from Christian MacLeod are just... Continue Reading →
It was a weekend of sweeps in the SEC as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, and Arkansas all take 3 games from their conference opponents. That doesn't mean there wasn't drama though because it was a wild weekend in Knoxville, and the D1 Rerun is here to cover it all! Evan Russell brought the thunder for... Continue Reading →
120 strikeouts in only 60 1/3 innings pitched while allowing just 4 runs and 21 hits!!! No this is not my created player on MLB the Show, this is the combined stat line for 5 Division 1 College Pitchers. Landon Sims, Carson Palmquist, Joseph Menefee, McCade Brown, and Tanner Riley have begun the 2021 college... Continue Reading →
We're through the first month of the Division I college baseball season. Slow starters still have the opportunity to right the ship, while those outperforming expectations have to prove they can sustain that production long-term. Nothing is yet set in stone. Still, we now have a few weeks of data to supplement our preseason expectations;... Continue Reading →
It was a wild weekend of college baseball and the D1 Rerun is here to help sum it all up. Let's go! This was the most entertaining series of the weekend as LSU gets the sweep of UTSA, but it did not come easily, it took a couple of wild extra inning comebacks to get... Continue Reading →
There haven't been many college pitchers more productive than Mitch Myers in the season's early going. The University of Pittsburgh's Friday night starter, Myers, has struck out 26 hitters with just four walks over his first three starts. Combined with his strong work before the 2020 season shut down, the junior right-hander has tossed 40... Continue Reading →
Division 1 Baseball finally started up again after almost a year break, with the last game being on March 12, 2020. This post will show the last pitch thrown over some of the D1 Conferences. The 4 main Conferences that BaseballCloud has pitch data from last year were: The ACC, Pac-12, SEC, and Sunbelt. For... Continue Reading →
College baseball is just hours away after a near year-long hiatus. Fans are of course excited, but coaches have been dealing with COVID-19 protocols, quarantine policies, and testing results for the past five months; so they’re also itching to start playing games that actually matter. Some schools unfortunately won’t get to start their season until... Continue Reading →
Last night a big update was made to the Batted Ball tab on player profiles for BCTeam! After some time of just showing average exit velocity, we have added six additional dropdown options to the Heat Map visual for both pitchers and hitters. Each of these metrics will be broken down in this blog. Average... Continue Reading →
Continuing down the unbeaten path of draft models; the last version of this was less than a week ago when I discussed a tricky metric in vertical approach angle. This time I'll be going over a rather broad pool of data. Batted ball profiles can be as simple as exit velocity and launch angle, or... Continue Reading →
One of the more common terms used in the analytics community is 'model'. Whether it’s a model built to predict how much a specific metric can predict the future BABIP of a player, or looking at the best ways to predict run production; all models have one thing in common, using data to create a...
